Today we are visiting the 2nd Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple at Amalapuram. After visiting Sri Sai Baba Devalayam, we are now visiting this Sri Sai Baba Swarna Devalayam which is adjacent to the previous temple of Sai Baba on the Main Road.
As the name indicates this temple's Gopuram is going to be covered with Gold as in Shirdi. A Sai Devotee wanted to build a bigger temple of Sri Sai Baba & donated this land adjacent to the old temple where a Clay Statue of Sai Baba has been installed. The Temple authorities decided not to break the old temple & to build a new temple & a 5.5ft Marble Statue of Sai Baba has been installed in this temple.
As of Now the Stupa has been Covered with Gold & in the near future, plans have been made to cover the entire gopuram with gold & make this temple a unique place in the East Godavari Dist of Andhra Pradesh.
All the Puja's & Aarti's are performed as per Shirdi Sansthan guidelines. A Silver Crown has been installed on Baba's Head. Special Puja, Palki Seva & Annadanam are performed on Thursday & on Special Days like Rama Navami, Guru Pournima & Sai Punyathithi.
Sai Devotees in & around Amalapuram & East Godavari Dist are awaiting for the temple to be covered with Gold & that it becomes a prominent place of worship.
