Many people like to buy cloth that has been blessed in this way and use it.Īarti is held four times a day at Baba’s Samadhi at 4.30 am at noon, sunset around 6.30 and at 10.30 p.m. All the cloth that Baba has worn is put on sale in the Sansthan shop. Visitors may also donate cloth for Baba which will be wrapped around the statue. Devotees may sponsor the abhishek by contacting the Sansthan. October 15 was the Hindu festival of holy Vijayadasami, a few minutes into ekadasi.Īfter the first aarti of the day, an abhishek (bathing of the statue with milk, water, curd and ghee etc) is performed. The day that Baba took Mahasamadhi on Tuesday 15 October in 1918 was a very important day o for Hindus, it also happened to be the Muslim month of Ramzan. It was built in stone and was known as dagadi or stone. This level also has the grinding stone and the wooden vessel called Kolamba in which Baba used to keep the Bhiksha brought from the village. The main attraction of this place is the oil painting of Shri Sai Baba sitting in a fixed wooden shrine. The second level of Dwarkamai has a square stool made of stone which Baba used for taking a bath. Just in front of the room where the chariot is kept is a small temple. One contains the chariot and the second a palkhi. The first level of Dwarkamai has a sketch of Baba and a big stone on which Baba used to sit. Baba turned it into Dwarkamai and proved that God is one. Before Baba’s arrival in Shridi, Dwarkamai was an old mosque in a falling down condition. Here Sai baba solved problems of the people, cured their sickness and worries. Dwarkamai is situated on the right of the entrance of Samadhi Mandir. Lord Sai baba stayed at Dwarkamai till the very end of his life. Shri Sai Baba came to Shirdi with a marriage revelation. Every Thursday and on each festival a Palakhi with Baba’s photo is taken out from the temple. Only on three occasions the temple is kept open overnight on Guru Poornima, Dussahera and Ramnavmi. The daily routine of the temple starts at 5 o’clock in the morning with Bhoopali, a sunup song and closes at 10 o’clock in the night after the Shejarati is sung. The temple opens on 5 AM with morning prayers and close down at 10 PM with night prayers. The first floor of the temple has the pictures depicting the life of the saint. The temple has an assembly hall for about 600 devotees. The idol of Baba is an eye-catching statue made up of Italian marble built by Late Balaji Vasant in 1954. The railings around it are full of ornamental decorations. The Samadhi of Baba is built with white marble stones.
