About Sri Sai Viboothi Baba Temple

The Shirdi Sai Baba Temple in Chitlapakkam, Chennai, also known as Sri Viboothi Baba Sametha Sri Sai Baba Temple, is a renowned spiritual shrine in Tamil Nadu. Built on the Samadhi of Sri Viboothi Baba, the temple is revered for its miraculous Udhi, sandal, and kumkum believed to cure ailments.

Its architecture symbolizes the “Oneness of Religion,” with marble sculptures of both Babas. Contact: Shri Nagaraja Baba.

History and Miracles of the Temple

Mr. Kulasekara Perumal, initially a non-devotee of Sai, experienced a miraculous transformation during an official trip to Shirdi. Guided by Sai in various forms—first as a stranger and later as a young boy—he was led through a series of divine interventions that culminated in his deep devotion to Sai. Upon his retirement in 1986, Mr. Perumal dedicated his life to serving Sai.

In a dream, Sai instructed Mr. Perumal to build a temple, promising him guidance every step of the way. Despite financial and logistical challenges, Sai ensured the temple’s construction with continuous divine support. The temple’s design, materials, and even its paint colors were believed to be guided by Sai’s will. The temple’s Kumbabishekam was completed on August 27, 2000.
