What happens on the day
For Sai devotees this is the most personal festival of the year — the day set aside to honour the guru. Baba himself asked that it be observed at Shirdi during his lifetime. The temple holds special abhishek, extended bhajan through the day, and annadan on a larger scale than usual.
Observances
- Padapuja and abhishek at dawn
- Continuous bhajan through the day
- Extended annadan
- Special Dhoop Aarti in the evening
Expect a longer queue than usual and heavier crowds throughout the day. Arrive early if you can.
