Architecture
Once you enter the temple, you will find a large hall filled with photographs of the life of Sai Baba and the temple. On the left to the hall, a small room holds memorabilia of the saint like his cooking utensils, stick and so on. Walk past the hall, you will find the main idol and the Samadhi. Right next to the temple, there is a large stone under a tree. It is said that Sai Baba used to sit on the stone to meditate and preach. A large portrait of the saint is placed on the stone and a small lamp is kept burning since the construction of the temple.
DWARKAMAI - THE HOLY PlACE : This is where Sai Baba used to live. After coming to Shirdi, Sai Baba stayed here till end days of his life. The mosque is situated on the right side of Samadhi Mandir where Sai Baba used to meet his devotees and solved their problems. The sacred fire 'Dhuni' lighted by Sai Baba has been constantly burning for more than a hundred years now. The sacred ash 'Udi' is collected twice everyday and is distributed among the devotees. A life size portrait of Sai Baba at his sitting place inside the mosque premises is definitely generates awe in its visitors.
GURUSTHAN - RESTING PLACE OF THE GOD : This is the spot under the Neem tree where the saint was first seen. Sai Baba himself called this place a holy place. He said this is the resting place of his Lord (the almighty), that is why this spot is called Gurusthan. Worship the portrait of Sai Baba kept here on an elevated platform.
LENDI BAUG - THE FLOWER GARDEN : To the northwest of Samadhi temple, Lendi Baug, a garden is situated. Once a waste land, it was turned into a flower garden by Sai Baba himself. He used to water it daily and used to spend few hours here meditating. Today it is maintained by devotees and still is a very beautiful garden with amazing collection of flowers.
This temple is the main pilgrimage site of the followers of Sai Baba. This temple holds his earthly remains, items that he used every day and other articles of his possession. The Samadhi is built with white marble and the main deity of the temple is built with Italian marble. The structure of the temple is specifically kept simple to express the simplicity adorned by the saint during this life. The marble is chosen for the deity to express that the heart of the saint was as white as the Italian marble.
Religious Significance
Upon his request after his death, the villagers buried his mortal remains in a designated place and built the Samadhi Mandir on it. A large marble statue of Sai Baba in sitting position is constructed right next to the Samadhi in 1954. The temple holding his tomb was constructed at a large private house, which was built when he was alive. Sai Baba planted saplings around the home and watered them. The house was used as a rest home for the saint and it was built by a multimillionaire from Nagpur, Gopalrao Booty. When the saint fell ill, he stayed back in the house and he was buried in the house, after his death. Later, the actual temple was built which was twice the size of the house.
History
This temple was built over the renovation Samadhi of Shri Sai Baba in 1992.
