History & Significance

Sai Baba arrived in Shirdi around 1858 and made his home in a dilapidated mosque he called Dwarkamai, tending a sacred fire (dhuni) that burned continuously for decades. His teachings blended Hindu and Sufi Muslim traditions and attracted followers from all communities; after his Mahasamadhi in 1918, the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust was formed and Shirdi grew into one of India's most visited pilgrimage towns.
