Sometime in the early part of 1984, a few dedicated Sai devotees were dreaming of an idea; to establish the SRI DATTATREYA SAI ASHRAM Complex in Orissa where great saints and devotees from different parts of India could offer prayer to Sri Dattatreya Sai and meditate in a serene atmosphere of absolute tranquility.
The same year, a devotee whom Baba gave Physical Darshan to, and commanded while in a running train at 4 in the morning to establish the Sai complex. It is due to the blessings of Sri Dattatreya Sai, blessings and guidance from Sri Ganeshnathji Maharaj and the devotion and sincerity of the many Sai Devotees whose dream became a reality.The temple was inagurated on Febuary 22, 2002.
