About Sai Darbar
Sai Darbar Temple, located at Shrikant Verma Marg, Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh), is a sacred and privately managed spiritual abode founded by Shri J. Ramesh Rao and Smt. J. Mamta Rao. Established in the year 2002, the temple stands as a testament to unwavering devotion, divine inspiration, and a deeply personal connection with Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi.
The Pran Pratishtha of the deity was divinely performed on the auspicious date of 9th May 2002, under the guidance of the priest from the Samadhi Mandir, Shirdi, affiliated with the Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust. The temple’s sanctity and spiritual vibration are a result of the immense grace and blessings of Bhagwan Shri Sai Baba bestowed upon the Rao family.
The family’s devotion traces back to 1915, when Shri J. Ramesh Rao’s mother first visited Shirdi and received Baba’s blessings. Since then, the family has remained deeply connected to Baba’s path, walking in faith, surrender, and seva (selfless service). It was through Baba’s divine inspiration that Shri J. Ramesh Rao was guided to construct the temple on his personal land, with no external donations taken for either land or construction.
