About the Temple

🙏
A beacon of faith since 1994

Shri Sai Baba Mandir, Bhupatwala

This is the first Shirdi Sai Baba temple established in the holy city of Haridwar. The land for the Mandir was acquired in September 1990 in the name of Pt. Chunilal, and the Sai Baba Charitable Trust Parashuram Ashram was formed in September 1991.

The foundation was laid the same year, and after three and a half years of devoted construction funded entirely by devotees' donations, the temple was inaugurated on 5th May 1994 by Shri A.K. Tailor of Rishikesh.

Baba's sacred Dhuni was specially brought from Shirdi by Shri Kote Patil, a Trustee of Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi. For the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, nine Havan Kunds were prepared and a week-long puja was conducted in the Vedic tradition by 51 Acharyas.

“Sabka Malik Ek” — One God governs all. The temple has grown from 5 founder trustees in 1991 to 21 trustees since 1998, and a magnificent 45 kg silver Simhasan was installed in May 2001.
