Aum Sai Ram.

My 13th Pilgrimage at Rajahmundry Started with a Visit to:

This Sanctum of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba was opened in 2003 in the Sri Venkata Rama Lingeshwara Swamy Alayam Temple Complex. Sri Venkata Rama Lingeshwara Swamy Alayam has been built for a very long time & is one of the Unique temples with both Hari & Hara Dieties in the temple.

Built behind the Railway Station on the way to the Railway Quarters of the Rajahmundry Town, Lot of Devotees from the nearby area going towards the railway station & Also the Employees & family of Railways residing at the Railway Quarters pass by this temple daily.

All the Temples will usually have the statue facing the East Direction.

The North Direction representing the Himalayas where lots of People meditate for the wellness of the world & prosperity of life. It is a tribute to such siddha Purusha's praying for the welness of life by Baba's Statue facing the North.
