Hejje Pradakshine made easy in this Saibaba Temple at Mysore Road
There is a Beautiful Shirdi Saibaba Temple at Hunsemaradahalli, Off Mysore Road, Bangalore known by the name "Shri Shirdi Sai Anandamayi Temple".
The speciality of this temple is that the temple and the Dwarakamai is constructed just like the Original Shirdi Temple.
More speciality about the temple is that There are Hundred and Eight (108) Stone Blocks erected starting from the left side of the temple in a clockwise manner and the Stone Blocks ends exactly at the right hand side of the temple from where you can enter the temple. This has been done to enable the sai devotees to perform "Hejje Namaskara" wherein a devotee is given the opportunity to Chant Saibaba's name hundred and eight times (108) or utter Sai Astothara before entering the temple. Really an innovative thought indeed by Capt.Mahesh.
The address of the temple is as below:
Sri Shirdi Sai Anandamayi Temple
Hunasemaradapalya, Off Mysore Road
Next to Amrith Distillary, 2 KM Off Mysore Road Bangalore.

Oldest Shirdi Saibaba Temple of Bangalore
The Shirdi Saibaba Mandir situated at Sriramapuram, Bangalore is the oldest Saibaba Temple of Bangalore. It was started way back in 1943. In this mandir there was an old lady who had seen Shirdi Saibaba. I was fortunate enough to touch her feet and take blessings from her on Guru Poornima Day about 10 years back. Unfortunately the blessed lady is no more. Her grand childrens are running the temple. The addess of the temple is as below:
