Shirdi Sai Baba temple is one of the richest temples of India where thousands of devotees come every day for darshan and to get blessings from saint Sai Baba. Shirdi can be your weekend destination where you can take your family and kids where you can find the piece.
You will find a number of temples around Sai baba samadhi but among them, "Khnadoba" mandir has its own importance where baba gets the name "Sai". Nobody knows the real name of Sai baba and the village(birthplace) from where they came to Shirdi. The name "Sai" was given by Mhalasapati who was the priest of Khandoba temple when they see baba first time in their life in Khandoba temple. This temple is located in front of the Bus Stand of Shirdi and most of the devotees visit this temple before visiting the main samadhi temple.

I love to travel, explore places, visit historical places, beaches and everything which I can cover on my bike. I think people must visit at least 10-15 places in a year where they never traveled before. To help people to understand places they may love based on their interest, I decided to blog on total safari.
