4th Anniversary Celebrations at Sri Sai Baba Dwaraka Mandir, Euro School Road, Sharada Devi Nagar, Tumkur. Karnataka

Aum Sai Ram

The 4th Anniversary Celebrations at Tumkur Shirdi - Sri Sai Baba Dwaraka Mandir popularly referred as Euro School Sai Baba Mandir took place on Sunday, 04th March 2012.

Kindly see the Complete set of 166 Snaps of this temple
before reading the Description of 4th Anniversary Celebrations


This is one of the few temples that i visit regularly to invoke the grace of Sri Sai Baba. The Magnificent Presence of Sai Baba is Enormous & it is a pleasant sight to keep on seeing him.

In Brief it is the best preserved temple of Sai Baba that i have ever visited till date after completing several of my pilgrimage to Sai Baba temple at various places in India covering around 350 temples of Sai Baba.

To See Complete set of 166 Snaps visit:


The 4th Anniversary Celebrations started at around 5:30am with Kakad Aarti to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. The temple complex was completely decorated with Lighting fixtures. Special arrangements were made for the Sudarshana Homam & the Sudarshana Chakram was drawn on the floor of the temple with colour rangoli powders.

All the programs of the day were held under the gracious presence of Sri Chandra Shekar Baba from Mysore. Special Milk Abhishekam, Mangal Snan, Vastra Alankar, Pushpa Alankar, Deepa Alankar & Mangal Aarti were performed by 6:30am.

At Around 9:00am Kalas Stapan & arrangements to perform Sri Ganapathi Homam, Sri Navagraha Homam, Sri Mritunjaya Homam, Sri Maha Sudarshana Homam & Sri Shirdi Sai Moola Mantra Homam commenced. The Sankalpam & Kalas Puja were performed by Sri Ashok & Family the founders of the temple along with the purohits. Around 45 Couples participated in all the homam & 2 homa Kund were installed in front of the temple to complete the task.

A Silver Paduka for Baba's existing Marble Paduka in Samadhi was brought & placed on the Marble Paduka. Abhishekam was performed for the Paduka & a Paduka procession/ Pradakshina was performed around the temple by carrying the silver paduka on the head & chanting Sai Nama Japam. Silver Paduka was then decorated with Chandan & garlands & placed back on the Marble paduka of Sri Sai Baba.

Mean while Ganapathi Homam, Nava Graha Shanti, Mritunjaya Homam, Sri Maha Sudarshana Homam & Shirdi Sai Baba Moola Mantra Homam were being performed & the preparations for purnahuti was under way. Many varieties of Dry Fruits, Nuts & Spices, Root Extracts, Ghee & a Silk Cloth was placed in a big vessel. All the Sai devotees present in the temple were allowed to touch the plate & finally it was handed over to the temple founder who put them all into the fire. As all the items were being put into the fire, the fire god was happily glowing red. Purnahuti was successfully performed at around 12:30pm. The Madhyan Aarti was performed after the Purnahuti & Prasad meals consisting of Sambar Rice, Curd Rice along with Sheera were distributed to Sai Devotees in Buffet System. Around 350 Sai Devotees had the Prasad after the noon aarti.

Around 100 Sai Devotees from Bangalore & Mysore participated in the Temple Anniversary Celebrations.

At Around 5:30pm the Bhajan Program commenced in the temple lead by Sri Mahadevappa & Team from tumkur.

At 6:15pm, Baba's Palki procession commenced & Sai Baba's Jai Jai Kar & Sai Baba's Nama Japam were kept on chanting during the procession. Women & Men took equal turns to carry the Palki around the temple complex. After the Palki returned back to the temple, People with problems & mental distress were asked to bow down & go below the palki that was still held by the Sai Devotees. All the Sai Devotees bent & went through the Palki. I finally managed to bow down & walk below the palki even as the Sai Devotees carrying the palki them self wanted to go below it. After the completion of this ritual, the palki utsav ended.

The evening Dhoop Aarti then commenced at 6:45 pm. Naivaithyam was given to Sai Baba consisting of Vegetable Biryani & Sweets. After the Completion of the Dhoop Aarti, the prasad was distributed to the Sai Devotees present in the Temple.

Shej Aarti of Sai Baba was performed at around 9:00pm & the 4th Anniversary Celebrations were successfully completed.

Prasad was served to the Sai Devotees present in the temple after the Shej Aarti. Around 1000 odd Sai Devotees attended the celebrations & made this event a grand success.

Main Attraction of this event being, Dress was Changed before all the 4 Aarti's Commenced.
