The Shri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple started as a small community effort by a group of dedicated women who wanted to express their devotion by chanting and performing Aarthi. Over a few months, this small initiative grew significantly, leading to the installation of a Baba idol and regular Thursday prayers. The temple quickly became a focal point for the local community, with a growing number of devotees participating in the rituals. The establishment of the Shirdi Saibaba Ashram Trust in May 2024 marked a significant milestone, ensuring the continuity and organization of the temple’s activities and services.
