Shirdi, mostly known for the great saint Shirdi Sai Baba, is situated in the Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra. Shirdi, also known as the Land of Sai, is a popular destination of pilgrims throughout the year. The earlier history of Shirdi is not known but Shirdi shot to fame during the earlier 20th Century.
The name ‘Shirdi’ is interconnected with the life of Shirdi Sai Baba. Shirdi Sai Baba visited Shirdi when he was sixteen years old and stayed there until his death in 1918. Through Shirdi Sai Baba, Shirdi has earned a significant place among the pilgrimage destinations of India.
Shirdi is a small town in Maharashtra that comprises an area of about 3 sq. km. Shirdi is located at a distance of about 297 km from Mumbai, 82 km from Ahmednagar and 80 km from the religious city of Nasik and 16 km from Kopargaon.
The State Government of Maharashtra along with the Shirdi municipal council & Shri Sai Baba Sansthan are planning for infrastructure development in Shirdi, keeping in mind the 100th anniversary of Shri Sai Baba Punyatithi on the day of Dusshera in 2018. Another project for the integrated development of Shirdi and its surrounding villages has given boost to the thriving hospitality industry in the area.
The Shirdi temple complex which is the main attraction of Shirdi covers an area of about 200 sq. m. The temple complex includes Khandoba, Gurusthan, Samadhi Mandir, Dwarkamai, Chavadi and Lendi Baug. Maruti Temple and Shani Temple, constructed under the supervision of Shirdi Sai Baba, are the other places of attraction in Shirdi.

Located in Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra, Shirdi is home to many sites that stand testimony to the time when it was the home of Sai Baba, the great saint of the 20th century. Near the Shri Sainath Hospital, Shri Khandoba Mandir is located. This temple is revered for its idol of Khandoba, along with those of Banai and Mhalsai. Legend states that when Sai Baba set his foot in Shirdi for the second time, Khandoba was the first place where he was welcomed.
It is believed that when Sai Baba appeared in Shirdi for the first time, as a boy of 16 years, he was first seen at Gurusthan. In Sai Sat-Charitra, Neem (Margosa) tree situated here, finds its reference. A garden where Sai Baba used to go daily, for watering the plants, Lendi Baug contains a Neem tree. Beneath the shade of this tree, Sai Baba used to rest every morning and afternoon.
Samadhi of Abdul Baba contains the mortal remains of the man who used to read Quran to Sai Baba. At a few minutes' distance from the cottage of Abdul Baba, Maruti Mandir is located. It is believed that Sai Baba had a special devotion for the temple and used to visit it on a regular basis. At the temple, Sai Baba used to conduct satsangs.
Mortal remains of Tatya, who was the son of Bayjabai, the woman whom Sai Baba referred to as his mother, are buried at Shri Tatya Kote Samadhi. Bhau Kumbhar's Samadhi, houses the mortal remains of Bhau Maharaj, another one of the devoted followers of Shri Sai Baba.
