Shirdi,one
of the main stopovers on your West India Pilgrimage tour
is situated at a distance of about 260 kms from Mumbai
and 130 kms from Aurangabad. Shirdi is also known as the
holy city of Sai Baba. The saga of Sai Baba of Shirdi
started in the middle of last century when as a boy of
about 16 years of age, he first appeared here under a
neem tree absorbed in a hard penance.
|
 |
| The
most important festivals and events that are celebrated
in Shirdi are Guru Poornima, Dusshera, and Ram Navami.
These are the only days when the Samadhi Mandir of Shirdi
opens for the whole night. Every Thursday, a palakhi bearing
a photograph of the sage is taken out from the temple.
