2. Day 2: Shirdi

   Set out on the tour early in the morning:

   • See the 'Kakad Arti' (a prayer ceremony) on your Sai Darshan. After breakfast, visit Dwarkamai which is adjacent to the Sai Baba Samadhi Temple complex. Dwarkamai is the mosque which was used by Sai Baba as his dwelling place for 60 years till his demise in 1918. The mosque was named 'Dwarkamai' by Sai Baba himself and this is the place where many of his miracles transpired and his Durbar was held.
   • Chavadi: located next to Dwarkamai. this holy place is where Sai Baba used to sleep every alternate night. Sai Baba was taken to Chavadi in a decorated Palkhi by his disciples. The practice of spending alternate nights at Chavadi began on 10th December 1909 which continued until 1918, his Mahanirvan. Today, every Thursday night, Baba's footprints are carried from Dwarkamai to Chavadi in a ceremonial procession. Chavadi is a small house which has two rooms. The room in which Baba used to sleep is not accessible to women even today. The Asan (seat) where Sai Baba used to sit and the wooden platform on which his last bath was solemnized are kept in the Chavadi.
   • Shani Shignapur: this is a village located in Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra about 75 km away from Shirdi. It is where the presiding deity of Shinganapur, Sri Shaneshwara or Lord Shanidev (the personification of the planet Saturn), is worshipped with utmost reverence and devotion by multitudes of people from all over the world. The spectacle of the deity in black stone is overwhelming. A unique aspect of this place is, that no temple structure houses the Shanidev. There is only a simple platform on which stands the swayambhu idol, in black stone. Shingnapur village is also famous for the fact that no house here has doors; the fear of god preventing any thefts. 

   Head back to Shirdi where you could spend the evening at leisure. A suggested activity is to attend the Arti at Shirdi Dham.
