At Shirdi, Ram Navami has been the principal annual festival since Baba's own lifetime, and Sai temples everywhere follow. In Gadag it runs as a multi-day celebration with processions, continuous bhajan, and annadan at its largest scale of the year. If you plan to travel for one festival, this is the one.

Observances

  • Multi-day celebration
  • Rath and palki processions
  • Continuous bhajan and kirtan
  • Annadan at the year's largest scale
  • Special abhishek and alankaram

Expect a longer queue than usual and heavier crowds throughout the day. Arrive early if you can.
