Palakkad, October 30, 2013: The construction of a Shirdi Sai temple by the Sai Theertha Seva Trust at Venoli at Kalleppully near here is nearing completion. Trust authorities here said a marble idol of Shirdi Baba, similar to the one installed at Shirdi, had arrived at the temple site from Jaipur. They said rituals at the temple would be the same as that at the Shirdi temple. Since the work was at its final stage, the ‘Prathishta’ ceremony would be held in January 2014, they said.
