After visiting the Sri Sri Sri Shirdi Sai Raksha Mandiram at Boyapalem, we returned home by 2pm. After a Quick Nap, My sister served me with a Spicy Masala Tea. After getting refreshed, we headed towards the Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Devalayam at Shantipuram Colony at Seethammadhara to have the Darshan of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba.

My sister used to stay in this area of Shantipuram, near to this Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple during 1990's. The visit to this temple was again full of Memories of the yester years.
