Chavadi Gurusthan Lendi Garden Samadhi Mandir Srimathi Lakshmi

KHANDOBA MANDIR
Khandoba is said to be the presiding deity of the village. When Baba came to Shirdi, for the second time with a marriage party he got down from bullock cart here. Then the priest of the temple said to him "Welcome Sai". The nameless fakir began to be called "Sai Baba" from that time. Baba asked upasani Baba to live in the Mandir for some time without doing anything. Pilgrims get to their sweet memories, various leelas of Baba t the place and get spiritual satisfaction.
   
MARUTHI ALAYAM
This temple is opposite to the lane between Chavadi and Swarakamal. Baba had livid in the temple in company with Devi Das, Janaki Das and other Sadhus. You have to put oil in the oil pot of the light. Some break coconuts for Naivedyam.
   
DWARAKAMAI
Baba lived there almost for 60 years. Once Baba said t his Devotee, this is Dwarawathi. "Whoever steps here will get Health, and happiness. He will be freed from all difficulties. "There used to be no doors t Dwarakamayi and Baba never spoke to any one in secret.
There is Shyni in it. There are also
1. Grinding stone used by Baba for making wheat flour.
2. 2. A big stone where Baba used to bathe. In front of the Swarakamai in Tin-Roofed shed, there are
a. A oven for cooking
b. b. A Rulasi Kota and
c. c. Wooden Pillar. Touching of the pillar will remove all pains of the body. There is also stone used by Baba for sitting. And behind it the Chitrapatham picture of Baba kept by the side of the wall. On either side of it. There are pictures of a tiger and a horse. Pilgrims get all happiness by touching them.
   
CHAVADI
It is 50 years away from Dwarakamai. There are two rooms on the backside of it. In one of them, we see a table and a wheeled chair. The table was used for placing the sacred body of Baba and Bathe it. Pilgrims touch them with reverence for mental satisfaction. In the other room there are Baba's Photos. Women are not allowed to enter this room: Parayana of Sai Charitra can be read in the Verandah rooms.

Baba used to sleep every alternate night from 10-12-1910 in the Chavadi. Procession of Chavadi Festival was used to be celebrate with great pomp and color.

At present, this Chavadi procession is celebrated on every Thursday night only from 9.am. to 10.00 pm.
GURUSTHAN
It was the place where Baba was seen for the first time at the age of 16. on Sravana Purnima day in 1912, Baba's Paduka (slippers) were installed here for devotees sake. They have the sanctity of the touch of Baba prior to installation. It was a holy function. Baba gave a Sivalingam to Megha. After he passed away, the Sivalingam was installed in this place. Devotees sit here in the Mantapam facing north. It is believed that those light here and put Dhupam on Thursday and Friday will enter into the protective circle of Sri Baba's devotees. Here the Programme of Pradakshina, Dhyana, Japa and Patanam of Guru Charitam (Baba Charitra) are carried on by devotees.
   
LENDI GARDEN
It was called so because a stream called the "Lendi" used to flow there. Baba used to visit this garden noth morning and evening every day in 1890 Banba lighted here, in a small pit newly dug. "Nandan Deepa". It is also called Akhanda Jyothi. Later in 1963, a pillar was built with rocks and the light were arranged on it. On one side of the Akhanda Jyothi Pillar there is a Neem tree (Vepa) and on the other side a Ravi Tree. Devotees will have their Pradakshinas to them. There are also two other important things near them. The idol of Dattatreya was installed there. An Unumbara Tree (Medi) is also there. Pilgrims have their. Pradakshina to them also. Baba dug a well here. The water of the well, it is said , has the power of curing all disease. Pilgrims drink its water without fail. This garden is now used also by devotees for Dhyana, Japa, Parayana etc.
   
SAMADHI MANDIR
Long after Baba came to Shiridi for the second time
Santhewada
Deekshit wada and
Buty Wada were built. A Mandir was built in Buty Wada for installation of the idol of Muralidhar. But later Baba's physial remains were kept in test in it and is called samadhi mandir. There is also lifelike white marble statue of Sai Baba installed. Devotees go there for Darsanam of the Sanadhi and statue.
