Tirupathi Nalanda Nagar Sai

Om Sham Sai Ram

The Saibaba temple in Nalanda Nagar, Tirupathi was my 72nd visit in February 2011.

Its 2ft small Black stone Baba idol, among many miracles to the devotees point to be noted as this location is completely outskirt of Tirupathi town and accessibility to this area via public transport is limited and even the localites may not be aware of this temple as hardly you can see houses nearby. This shows Baba's omnipresence and miracles made to his devotee developed in devotees mind to build a Baba temple.
