Dwarkamai

Dwarkamai is the place where Sai baba stayed for his whole life after he came to Shirdi. There is continuously burning Dhuni (the source of Udi) in a corner beside the stone where Sai baba used to sit. This place is also crowded always but the queue is moving fast so it does not take much time as imagined when you see the crowd.

Shree Chavadi

This temple is situated next to the Dwarkamai. This is connected to the Sai baba because he used to sleep here a few nights every week. This is a small place and accommodates a few things only including a large picture of Sai Baba.
Also, there is Shri Dakshinmukhi Hanuman temple close to the Chavadi.

Abdul Baba Cottage

This is a cottage where Sai devotee Abdul Baba used to stay. He served Sai baba for a longer period. This is a very simple, compact and not well-maintained room opposite Chavadi.

Khandoba temple

If we are talking about Sai baba’s life then Khandoba temple holds major importance here. Sai Baba was first seen and welcomed by Mhalsapati in this temple only where he gave the name “Sai” to our Sai Baba. This is located at 5 minutes walking distance from the Sai Baba Samadhi temple on the main road.

These are the few small temples situated adjacent to the Sai baba Samadhi temple.
