Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s Birth Place (Shivalayam)

A Shivalayam (Temple of Lord Shiva) now stands in place of the house where Bhagawan was born. Bhagawan was born on 23rd November 1926, a Karthika Somavara according to the Hindu calendar, and a day traditionally devoted to the worship of Lord Shiva. There is a beautiful white marble idol of Lord Shiva in the temple to which worship is performed in the morning and in the evening. Abhishekam (ceremonial bath) is performed to the idol on Mondays (Monday is considered sacred for the worship of Lord Shiva).
