Shri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple Project The Sai Parivaar has grown steadily since its inception in Aug 2006. We are at a point where the number of devotees coming to the Shri Sai Temple for Baba's darshan fills the existing leased hall space to its full capacity, specially on Thursdays. We need a permanent home for Shri Sai Baba and his Parivaar members. The project to build a new Shirdi Sai Baba Temple has been initiated to realize our long term dreams. Temple Plans The temple location will be in the North-West suburbs of the Boston area in the Middlesex county of MA and its adjacent areas. Approximate total area of the proposed temple will be 10000 sq.ft in a two-level temple structure. The main prayer hall will have a capacity to accomodate 400 people. The temple facility will have a Kitchen to serve Bhandara with 200 occupancy. There will be additional class rooms for conducting spiritual and cultural classes for kids. The plan includes a Library with spiritual books and a Medidation hall. Minimum parking space for 150 vehicles.
