Baba's mahasamadhi day — the temple's most solemn observance.

At this temple
What happens on the day
Baba took mahasamadhi on Vijayadashami in 1918. The day is both the temple's most solemn and its most attended: a remembrance rather than a celebration, though it falls on Dussehra. Expect the largest gathering of the year and the longest darshan queue.
Observances
- Kakad Aarti with full recitation
- Palki procession
- Continuous annadan through the day
- Night-long bhajan
Expect a longer queue than usual and heavier crowds throughout the day. Arrive early if you can.
