“Sabka Malik Ek”, this famous quote reminds us of Sai Baba who is worshipped by the people at the Shirdi Temple. It is a small town located in RahataTehasil in district of Ahmednagar of Maharashtra. India has a number of rich temple organisations; one of the richest among them is Shirdi. Half a million people visit this temple in holidays every year.
There are many means to reach this place like bus, train and road. Shirdi now has ‘Sainagar Shirdi’, a new railway station for easy travelling. Airport is also being constructed at Kakdi. The best sight destination in Shirdi to visit is the Samadhi Mandir as the main attraction of the people is the last remains of Sai Baba. Initially, the temple was constructed to place an idol of Lord Krishna but as Sai Baba spent his whole life here and this place holds an immense reverence for his devotees from all around the world. There are open grounds in the temple where people can sit to meditate or pray to Baba and just to catch a glimpse of Sai Baba’s mortal remains, people stand for hours in long queues.
Another tourist place in Shirdi is the Dwarkanayee Masjid where Sai Baba had spent his maximum amount of time. Baba used to sit on a huge stone in this Masjid to light lamps every evening and this big stone is still preserved in the Masjid. In this Masjid there is a sacred fire called ’Dhuni’ which is still lit here even today and the ‘Udi’ is given to the people from the fire and this is considered extremely divine. A life-size portrait of Baba can be found at the Masjid which is a treat for all the devotees to see.
