Baba’s new idol, identical to His idol in Shirdi was sculpted by Rajiv Talim, grandson of Balaji Talim, who sculpted Baba’s Shirdi idol, in the same Mumbai studio where Baba’s Shirdi idol was made.
The new Temple is 6300 sqft and is at Unit 26, 173 Advance Blvd, Brampton, Ontario Canada L6T 4Z7.
Baba will be seated on a grand darbar 15 ft by 15 ft with marble railings just like in Shirdi. The main floor will comprise of a large worship area & amenities such as a large coat & shoe rack, hand & foot wash, an IT room, a water softner & water heater exclusive for Baba’s Abhishek.
Mezzanine will include a gallery & meditation hall where Baba’s current idol will be installed in a custom built Dwarkamai. Additionally the mezzanine floor will include a commercial grade kitchen, a staff room & a laundry room exclusively for Baba’s towels.
We expect a tremendous turnout of devotees on all three days at the new Temple. In order to effectively manage the event, devotees that have been allocated timeslots will be allowed to stay in the Temple for the duration of their timeslot. Such devotees will be requested to show proof of timeslot confirmation at entry point either in softcopy on their phones or hard copy. Registrations will be validated.
Please arrive at least 10 mins in advance of your timeslot. Devotees are humbly and respectfully requested to leave at the end of their timeslot so that other devotees may be accommodated.
Devotees that have not registered for a timeslot will be requested to walk through a line around the Pran Prathisthta Yagashala in the Temple. How long they can remain within the Temple depends on the line up.
We will be live streaming the entire event online. Link will be posted on the website before the event.
