The Shirdi Sai Baba Temple at Shipyard Colony, near Malkapuram in Visakhapatnam`Andhra Pradesh,
on the occasion of the festival of Guru Poornima 2014, installed a 22-feet tall Shirdi Sai Baba Idol
near the entrance of the Sai Baba temple.
This temple's marble Idol of Sai Baba was installed on Vijaya-Dasami day in 1974
and is a replica of the Idol of Baba installed at the Shirdi temple
and 40 years later this 22 feet Idol, made of cement was installed,
which again is similar to the Idol installed at Shirdi's 'Shri Sai Prasadalaya'.
