Sai Baba’s shrine has been incorporated as one of
the holy places in the world’s map of pilgrimage.
Sai Baba was not only a great saint but “God
incarnate” himself in the eyes of the millions of devotees of
different cast, creed and also religion. His first visit to Shirdi,
a small village was anonymous but he was noticed meditating under
a neem tree on the outskirts of Shirdi. For the second time he was
seen at a wedding in which he was incidentally the guest of honor.
Sai Baba graced the village of Shirdi by spending his physical
life from 1858 to 1918 and the remaining elders of this village
vividly recall the miraculous wonders of this saint.
Shri Sai Baba’s Samadhi Temple houses his mortal
remains, which were buried at this place. This is where Baba is
said to have taken a Samadhi. It now contains a beautiful Idol and
an enclosure displaying the various articles used by the Baba.
Time permitting you can visit temples nearby
devoted to Ganesha, Shani, and Mahadev. Later this afternoon you
will report at a pre-designated point for your return journey to
Mumbai.
