Nashik is the abode of one of Maharashtra's most
revered saint -- Sai Baba of Shirdi. Popularly known as the 'Child of God', Sai
Baba preached tolerance towards all religions and the message of universal
brotherhood.
|
| Every activity at Shirdi revolves
around the vast temple complex dedicated to Sai Baba. Devotees start queuing up
in the early hours of dawn to catch a glimpse and seek the blessings of the
life-size statue of Sai Baba. Thursday is marked by special pujas and darshan
of the Sai Baba statue. There are other places of
interest that devotees can visit as well including Dwarkamani Mosque where the
Baba meditated and slept on alternate nights. Near the mosque, in a corridor is
the dhuni or eternal flame that burns day and night. Other places of
importance are the Gurusthan, the Kandoba Temple, Shani Mandir, Narsimha
Mandir, Changdev Maharaj Samadhi and the Sakori Ashram. |
