In the meantime, they are establishing  a temporary abode for the Lord at the Shree Ram Mandir in Southall, London.

The idols of Lord Shree Jagannath, Devi Subhadra and Lord Balabhadra have arrived in London after making the long journey from Puri. The SJS are celebrating the consecration and installations of the deities during the auspicious Diwali week, commencing  on the 1st till the 3rd of November. The rituals will be performed by local priests under the guidance of eminent priests by video link, from Puri. These  sacred rituals will culminate with the  Prana Pratistha on the 3rd of November. The occasion will be graced by his holy highness Shri Mohanji, an eminent philanthropist and humanitarian and Guruji Dr Chandra Bhan Satpathy, a noted scholar, spiritual thinker and founder chairman of Shiridi Sai Global foundation.
