Shirdi Tourism

Known primarily as the abode of the great saint Sai Baba, the sacred town of Shirdi exudes an immense sense of spirituality and mysticism, much in contrast to its surprisingly tiny size. Covering an area of little more than two sq km, this small town is situated near Nasik and draws hundreds of worshippers and followers of the noble sage throughout the year. Sai Baba is believed to have visited Shirdi when he was just sixteen years old, and stayed on here for around eighty years. During this period, his teachings on love, patience, compassion and religious tolerance attracted people from various faiths, who thronged to the town to hear Baba's discourses and experience the numerous miracles credited to him. Today, Shirdi is a hallowed place and devotees from all over the world come here to pay homage at the temples honouring Sai Baba.
