Sai Baba's Punyathithi was celebrated at Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandira, Jayanagar East in Tumkur on Wednesday, 24th Oct 2012. 9 Day Navaratri festival began by installing Durga Devi's Potrait along with Kalas Stapana. On all the 9 days Special Puja to Sai Baba & Durga Devi were performed in the Temple.
On Sai Punyathithi / Vijaya Dasami Day, Sai Baba's Marble Idol was given a Sheerabhishekam early in the morning after the Kakad Aarti. Baba's Alankar was done with New Vastra & Lot of Garlands. A Special Garland Made up of Cardamom / Elaichi was decorated on Sri Sai Baba for the first time by a Devotees Request.
In the After Noon Sai Baba's Rath Utsav covering the Prominent Localities of Tumkur were performed with the Utsav Murthy of Sai Baba installed on a Well Decorated Tractor. After the Rath Utsav, the idol of Baba was brought back to the temple by 6:30pm for the evening Dhoop Aarti.
After the Completion of Dhoop Aarti, Bhajan Programs were performed in the temple premises & ended with the Shej Aarti to Sri Sai Baba. Sheera Prasad was distributed to all Devotees gathered to the event.
Baba was as usual well dressed for the day & the Aroma of Cardamom was quite amazing. Spicy but soothing. I'm sharing a glimpse of the Baba's Decoration for the Sai Punyathithi Day 2012.
