Explore Shirdi

Shirdi is a major pilgrimage destination that draws devotees from across the world. On any given day, about 60,000 visitors congregate in Shirdi and queue up at the temple of Shri Sai Baba, a 19th century saint who brought together people of all faiths.

A town situated in the state of Maharashtra in Western India, Shirdi is proud of its rich legacy and association with the great saint Shri Sai Baba, who lived here most of his life and died in this place in 1918. A magnificent temple (Samadhi Mandir) was constructed beside his tomb in 1922 in his honour and an ornate marble statue of Sai Baba was put up in 1955. After seeking his blessings at the temple, devotees may also visit Dwarkamai, a mosque where Sai Baba once lived and the tree-lined Lendi Garden.

Samadhi Mandir

The Samadhi Mandir was constructed by a millionaire from Nagpur, who was an ardent devotee of Sai Baba. It was also privately owned by him initially; now it is under the management of the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust. The temple is beautifully made up of white marble, railed by eye-catching ornaments amidst two huge pillars.

Taking visitors on a holy journey through the life and times of the great spiritual leader, Sai Teerth by Malpani Group is one of contemporary India’s proud accomplishments, which combines devotion with technology and entertainment.

Dwarkamai

Dwarkamai commands a place of pride in the minds of devotees. They say that Dwarkamai is the heart of Shirdi, the place where the great Sai Baba spent a significant part of his life, including his last moments. It is a cherished place to all of Baba’s devotees because it was the home of, as they like to call him, ‘god on earth’. People of all faiths look up to the great Sai Baba and truly believe in what he preached. The spirit of tolerance, equality and acceptance is very much alive here.

Chavadi

During his last years, Sai Baba used to spend alternate nights at Chavadi. The place is located near Dwarkamai Mosque from where the procession of Sai Baba, along with his followers, would be carried out in a palkhi. Even today, the procession takes place on every Thursday, with the idol of the saint inside the palkhi. Hence the place assumes significance to Sai Baba’s followers

Abdul Baba Cottage

The cottage is situated right opposite Chavadi that once belonged to Sai Baba’s most ardent followers, Abdul Baba. This one is small and green in color with many rare memories of Baba and himself. A must visit for the collection of rare artefacts involving the two.
