At chavadi shri sai baba solves every other peoples problem.

Baba Chawadi in shiridi is a must to visit every devotee. In the past sai baba chawadi has only one entrance but the present chawadi has been divided into two parts. Left side entrance only for the lady devotees. And the right side entrance only for the man or gents devotee. Chavadi has the original photos of sree sai baba on the silver metal chair. Right side of the chair deepa darshana is more immportant. This is the first and foremost house of sri sai baba. It is on the side of dwarakamai and beside the mukha dharshanam of sri sai baba. On the right side of the chawadi has prasadam laddu counter. Only two packs are given to each devotee. Each pack has three laddus.

Though apparently and formally Baba used to go to the Chavadi. In his super conscious state he was never asleep and used to tell his devotees that in his everlasting awareness (consciousness) he will always protect his devotees who were asleep at night. Chavadi means “village office”, and was the place where taxes were collected, village records kept and visiting officials put up. After Baba’s mahasamadhi the Sansthan acquired Chavadi, and until the late 1930s, used it for storing books and accommodating pilgrims. The village offices have long been relocated and Chavadi is kept as a shrine to Baba and is open to all. Sai Baba is intimately connected with this place, as he used to sleep here on alternate nights, during the last decade of his life. The routine was started on one wild and stormy night, around 1909. It was raining heavily, and water was coming through the leaky walls of the mosque. The devotees tried their best to persuade Baba to move out, if only until the water had subsided, but Baba did not want to go. Eventually, they virtually forced him to leave, by picking him up and half-carrying him to Chavadi. From that day onwards, Baba would spend alternate nights here.

Chavadi means a village meeting place where people gather together and chit chat. Most of the Maharashtra state villages having Chavadi where the men gather in the evening to chat where they discuss in general topics relevant to Village and Society. Shirdi Chavadi is situated close to Dwarkamai where Baba used to come along with his nearest followers on alternative nights to sleep. This place is now houses a pointing of Sai Baba made by Amabaram who is an artist from Navsari in Gujarat. Chavadi Utsav: This place is very significant as the procession of Palki which is beautifully decorated with flowers takes place every Thursday which is called as Chavadi Utsav. The Palki is having Sai Baba, his holy Padukas and Satka. The Procession begins from Samadhi Mandir and proceeds till Chavadi in between its also stops at Dwarakamai. After this visit again procession returns to Samadhi Mandir.

Place related to Sai Baba, Entry points are separate side by side for Male and Female devotees.

Sai Baba, was a revered spiritual master and saint who lived in the town of Shirdi in Maharashtra, India. He is considered to be a spiritual leader with followers from various religions and backgrounds. He is known for his teachings on love, tolerance, and the importance of self-realization. His teachings and devotees' experiences are documented in various writings and oral traditions.

It's a place of importance to devotees of Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi. As written in Sai satcharitra, Baba used to sleep in Chavdi on some nights and in masjid (Dwarkamai) on some nights. This place, along with Samadhi Mandir and Dwarkamai, is a must visit for everyone who comes to shirdi.

The Sai Baba Chavadi in Shirdi is the place where the great saint Sai Baba used to rest. It now houses a painting of Sai Baba made by an artist named Amabaram from Navsari in Gujarat. It is believed that he painted it after Baba paid him a visit in one of his dreams. Villagers from Shirdi brought the painting to Chavadi later. Chavadi literally means a village meeting place or a tax-collection office. It was traditionally a center for keeping records and settling village disputes. However, after Sai baba’s mahasamadhi, the Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan took over the Chavadi used it for storing books and accommodating pilgrims until the late 1930s. Later, the village offices were relocated and the Chavadi was converted into a shrine to Baba as it was where he spent his last year.

Chawdi or Chavadi is situated on the east of Dwarkamai, few metres away in Shirdi Sai Temple complex. Chavadi is traditionally a village meeting place, office, or court and was the place where taxes were collected, village records kept, disputes settled by the village heads, and visiting officials stayed. A must visit place for all Sai Devotees..

It was a mosque named by a Hindu Name "Dwarakamai" by Saibaba where Saibaba used to stay. It is a symbol of Hindu Muslim Unity. Saibaba used to spend some time here in their daily routine. They also enlightened a dhuni (a kind of bonfire) which is burning till today.The ashes of this dhuni known as udi is given to devotees as Saibaba's Prasad which he also used to give to his believers then. Some accessories of daily use of Saibaba are kept here. A stone on which he used to sit is also placed here.

Dwarkamai, Saibaba Dhuni, started by Baba himself and continues to burn till now.. It is a place of devotion.. Jai Sai Ram Afternoons (2pm - 5pm) might be the best time to visit to avoid huge crowds.. I visited here in Feb’2024

Om sai ram, devotional place and peaceful

Nice place to have good vibes which is surrounded with lots of prayers and beliefs. Really peaceful place. It is easily accessible by all forms of transport. Best day to visit is Thursday but it will be really crowded. You will have to wait in queue for maybe 2 hours. Very well manage.. Good experience.

Can visit after darshan of Sai Baba...this place contains the rock on which Sai Baba use to sit.

Very peaceful and energetic place. I completed my Darshan today evening. I also visited dwarakamai. It's fantastic place. Akanda dhuni, Sai living the place and his using stone for sitting, all are very excited.

Surreal experience if you are a devotee of Sai then it's a must for you and if not after visiting the place you will be a devotee of Sai. The place is amazing people are nice and helpful transport is very convenient and food is also very affordable and good. I visited shirdi with my mom and dad, had an amazing stay and you get a lots of option for accomodation as per your convenience and budget

Everything is here when is Saibaba is Alive like stone when baba is sitting on it, a bonfire kindling from baba the fire is also there to see. Nice Place to visit 😍

Dwarkamai : Dwarkamai is a place where Sai Baba lived until the very end of his life. Before Sai Baba’s arrival in Shirdi, this place used to be a mosque in poor conditions. Later, Sai turned it into Dwarkamai where he started healing, curing ill people. He solved all their problems and helped them with solutions to their worries. Here at Dwarkamai, there are two levels. Level one has two rooms with Sai’s portrait and a huge rock on which he used to sit. While level two has a square shaped stool made of stone, which Sai is believed to have used for bathing. The highlight of Dwarkamai is an oil painting of Sai Baba in which he is sitting on a wooden carved shrine. Location: Pimpalwadi Road, Rahata, Near Samadhi Mandir. Timings: Monday to Sunday - 5:30 am to 9:45 pm.

Dwarkamai is the most important place to see by every devotee. In the entrance left side we saw the sai baba cooking place and sai baba's hand resting place on the wall. We observe that 3 feet of one wooden stick of sai baba. After that we saw the dhuni covered with grills. In the past we touched and some grains were put in the dhuni but we con't touch it. We saw all the items of sai baba used. Please observe the deepam holes on the wall of dwarkmai. Sai baba lights the lamps with water when no one gives the oil that night. At last we saw the sai baba sitting stone covered with glass We touched it on the glass and pray for peace of mind.

If you are in Shirdi and visited to Samadhi Stan of Sai baba . Do visit to Dwarka mai. Mobile phones are not allowed in temple premises so they charge 10 rs for locker . Hundi(fire kund) is still burning after so many years . It has all the belongings of Sai baba still kept in Dwarkamai

OM Sai Ram You will feel a devine of happiness, once you step into Dwarkamai. This tell of SAI BABA is really proven right, even in now days.

Dwarkamai is one of the treasures of Shirdi for the devotees. They say that Dwarkamai is the heart of Shirdi, the place where the great Sai Baba spent a significant part of his life including his last moments. It is a treasure to all of Baba's devotees because it was the home of, as they like to call him, God on Earth. People of all faiths look up to the great Sai Baba and truly believe in what he preached. The spirit of tolerance, acceptance and welcome is very much alive here.

SaiBaba's Dhuni is here! The same Dhuni started by Sai Baba is burning here from 183 years approximately. It's a nice experience to see the place where all the miracles (mentioned in Sai Satcharita and Sai leela magazines) took place first hand. The only draw back is that Dhuni is fully enclosed in steel mesh and we need to struggle to see the embers.

Shani mandir is tooo good . Avoid scams around the temples like they'll urge you to take Pooja material from them n all. Don't take from them you'll get needy things at the entrance of the temple which are at cheaper cost and are so pure.

This well-known shrine is 65 kilometers from Shiridi. After six or seven years, I returned and noticed significant improvements to the facilities. Oil anointing is best managed by trust. At this point, you can dress normally. Be aware of con artists; parking is provided close to the temple. Facilities for handicapped is also provided. The temple's premises have been exquisitely renovated. The construction of the temple is still going on. The temple serves wonderful prasad. 🌺 ॐ शं शनैश्चराय नमः 🌺

I recently visited Shree Shanidev Temple in Shani Shingnapur on a weekday. Despite its popularity, the atmosphere was calm, and the darshan was smoothly done without any rush. The simplicity of the temple and the devotion of the devotees were remarkable. It was a fulfilling and spiritually enriching experience, highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful pilgrimage. Additionally, the temple offers ample parking space for cars at just 20 rupees, and there are plenty of shops nearby selling various materials for pooja (ritual worship).

A must for all devotees to visit this temple. Temple complex, queue system is well maintained and managed Some info for devotees visiting here: 1. There is no dress code, wear descent cloth 2. Pls park your car only in the temple parking right opposite to the temple and don’t park anywhere else even few places where free parking board is put. 3. There is a place to keep your footwear right at the temple entrance. 4. Mobile phones are allowed inside the temple. 5. You can buy oil inside the temple. There is Prasad counter inside 6. To pour oil directly per head charge is 500, otherwise oil has to be poured in container placed

Place is being developed well. You will need to buy branded oil since the lose or un branded oils are not allowed in the temple. You do have changing rooms and washrooms near by to fresh up. Temple has give special provision to pour oil in special containers while standing in queue line which will travel through a pipe and falls on the idol.

Wonderful place. The main objective here is to offer the oil to the deity. Either you can book from counters inside the premises or you can go and pour the oil in a container. Rest all other Prasad is not necessarily required to offer. You will find peace. The place is maintained by trust and it's cleaned regularly.

I love visiting this sacred place. This time when I visit on shani amavasya their was huge rush. They detained vehicles 2-3 km ahead and provide auto service to temple. Good time but you have to be patience with the crowd. It is nearly 145 km from Nashik and it took 3-3.5 hr to reach their. The route nashik- sinnar - nandur shingote- talegaon-loni-rahuri-sani shignapur. Roads are in good shape.

It is believed that shani maharaj came in dream of a shepherd many years aho and said he is "Shaneeshwara". He also told that the unique looking black stone is his swayambhu form. The shepherd prayed and asked the lord whether he should construct a temple for him. To this, Lord Shani Mahatma said there is no need for a roof as the whole sky is his roof and he preferred to be under open sky. He asked the shepherd to do daily pooja and 'Tailabhisheka' every Saturday without fail. He also promised the whole hamlet will have no fear of dacoits or burglars or thieves. The mandir is usually crowded on shani amawasya.

I think, it was a nice place to visit. I heard about the Shani god from my family members, friends and relatives how powerful they are in terms of getting bad luck. Never thought I would visit him and take his blessings. I'm very happy I have done that, please make a visit and take blessings. Remember you shouldn't see back once you have given your prayers. Also, people who sell all that stuff related to abhishekam or other things are looting from people. I think, barely would be enough. We got trapped with that group and we burned enough money by taking all the unnecessary items who mis sold us by telling us one price at the start and charged us enough after darshan. Take care of the price especially when you are Telugu and unable to deal with the stuff. I didn't have any pictures of gold because of that rule that one shouldn't see back.

Shani Signapur was once a revered place and is probably now also. But the divine experience is nullified by the touts outside who loot every devotee in the name of fear. Some flowers, a coconut, sesame oil and some items costs you Rs 1280 which was exorbitant. Wish I had read the reviews of previous people before. I don't think Lord Shani would have ever wanted people to give these offerings. A small bottle of sesame oil and flowers is all that is actually required but the touts outside will instill fear of Shani God in you. Best is, park in the Govt parking just opposite the temple gate and buy oil which you can do outside or inside the temple premises also. You can pour the oil in the common area which is then pumped to the Shani God statue. If you want to directly pour on the statue, you have to buy a ticket of Rs 500 per person. It is my personal opinion that if you want to spend money, rather donate it to the temple for Prasad to the people and food for needy where you will get a receipt and money will be used in the right manner ( hopefully ).

Saneeswar temple is famous and visited by large number of devotees. Temple area is relatively clean. Visit during weekdays is better. Weekends are very busy.

Shani Shingnapur is where houses have no doors. Since 2011, women had been allowed to enter the Shani Shingnapur temple. Dhoti is not compulsory so you can wear jeans. You can offer oil and rice like things at temple. Don't purchase from outside.. you will get all these at a cheaper price inside the temple. MGM Aurangabad blood bank team is present there to collect blood. I donated blood. ( They should maintain hygiene and should wear gloves which is a point needed to be improved by the management) VIP pass is available for special darshan. The architecture, cleanness is good .wel maintained. Recommended to all sanatani bhakts. Jay shanidev.

Looking good. Shanidev bagavan is located at this temple. Temple management is good but outside it is not good. The people who are selling flowers Pooja oils outside are very cunning and don't believe them. Inside the temple they don't suppose us to pour the oil in Shiva. They just arranged a plate-like thing beside to pour oil. Maybe 500rs special tickets are available to pour oil in shiva. The crowd is not more. We visited on weekends.

Must visit God Shani maharaj temple, it is in Village called Shani Shingnapur famous all around in Maharashtra and other state of India. if you come by car temple has campus to park inside. you can either take bath but now not compulsory. You can buy Oil, other puja stuffs from many vendor stall. Queue is not that Long. I visited on Saturday it took around half an hr to reach and pour oil in container fitted before God. I came to know from people there that we can directly pour oil over the God Shani Maharaj on weekday because of less rush. Buy Prasad after darshan from the counter. On the way to this village you will come across many Sugarcane juice center roadside. Don't miss to have glass of it.

Excellent experience. Had been there in morning first Aarti around 4.30 am. Extremely wonderful devotional experience. Try in morning before sunrise if possible. You will love the experience. 3.5 hrs from nashik if travel start by 12.30 am then you will reach on perfect time. Roads are single so drive carefully.

The fact about this place is no house in the village has doors. And use a paid parking lot. There are people who offer free parking, but we should buy from their shop and they sell them at enormous prices. We are permitted to pour oil on the god only when we take abhishekam ticket.

This temple is very powerful temple . This temple is very old . People come here from everywhere. Now never things has been changed over here . Everything is organized inside the temple. Outside the temple everything is horrible. Dont get into the trap of locals. Temple parking is different ,its right opposite the temple. No need of buying anything from out . Offering oil is important in this temple. Dont get fooled by locals. Oil is sell by the temple trust. They provide proper bill . Every u can do payment by cash only and card. Even to keep your foot wears, facilitie is available by temple management. Temple Management charge only 500rs to offer oil personally. This 500₹, oil charges are not included. Oil u have to purchase separately. Its according to u, how much liters of oil u want to offer. Even Pujari available inside the temple, if u want to conduct any rituals. Even on websites all details are available. Something new is building around temple. In future experience will be different. DONT GET INTO THE TRAP BY LOCALS. SAVE MONEY. even the road has been improved. Drive safe .

The Temple Is Great and Spiritual to Visit.There is a Spiritual Atmosphere.The Road is good and Easy to reach.Couple of things That Must Be noted, 1 1 1) There is a bIg Scam Happening here. They will Brain Wash You into doing pooja and they charge you exorbitant prices after everything is done 2 They entice you saying its free parking and its day Light robbery.There is Temple parking just Ahead of temple which can be used.

Exploring the Mystique of Shri Shaneshwar Mandir, Shani Shingnapur Nestled 65 kilometers from the bustling pilgrim town of Shirdi, Maharashtra, lies a unique spiritual haven – Shri Shaneshwar Mandir, Shani Shingnapur. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit this revered temple, a journey that not only enriched my soul but also offered a deep dive into the cultural tapestry of India. Shani Shingnapur's distinctiveness stems from the Swayambhu (self-emerged) Shani Devsthan, a powerful symbol of Lord Shani, represented as a black, imposing stone rising from the earth. This rare manifestation draws thousands of devotees daily, each seeking blessings and solace under the watchful gaze of Lord Shani. Accessibility to this spiritual oasis is user-friendly, with well-connected roads, trains, and flights via Shirdi. Upon arrival, you're greeted with a plethora of options for pooja Sahitya (worship materials) available near the Mandir (temple). Don't miss the chance to savor the prasad an integral parts of the spiritual experience. The temple's 24-hour opening is a testament to its commitment to being a constant beacon of hope and faith. A visit here is said to be a must in a devotee's lifetime, a chance to immerse in the sanctity and receive Lord Shani's abundant blessings. However, a word of caution – while the temple's sanctity is unquestionable, the presence of persistent touts can sometimes dampen the experience. To enhance your visit, here are some pro-tips: Dress Code: The temple has no specific dress code. Feel free to wear any decent attire. Parking: Opt for the government parking opposite the temple gate. While there are other parking options, they tend to be more expensive and may involve unsolicited sales pressure. Footwear: There's a designated spot for keeping footwear right at the temple entrance, eliminating the need to leave them in your car. Mobile Phones: These are permitted inside the temple, allowing you to capture and share your spiritual journey. One of the most unique practices here is the offering of oil to Lord Shani. Devotees can purchase oil either outside or within the temple premises. There's a communal area where you can pour the oil, which is then directed towards the deity. For a more personal offering, a direct pour on the statue is possible with a ticket of Rs 500 per person. Shani Shingnapur is a vibrant spiritual epicenter, a testament to unwavering faith and a sanctuary offering solace and blessings. Its blend of mystical traditions and contemporary accessibility makes it a must-visit for every spiritual seeker.

Sanidev - God Of Justice 70 km from Shirdi . Mobiles allowed inside the temple. Its my second time here in Sani Shignapur. Noticed Drastic changes and significant improvements . Just buy Oil for pouring on Shani Dev Maharaj. Dont buy unnecessary things .

Jay Shanidev, excellent place, heart touching experience very well maintained, proper crowd management, if you want to place oil on Sidh Shani , you have to buy pass of Rs.500.00 , litter bit pinching otherwise you can put oil symbolically. Must visit

Shree Shanidev Temple in Shani Shingnapur offers a unique and deeply spiritual experience. Known for its extraordinary tradition of having no doors, the temple is dedicated to Lord Shani, believed to be a powerful deity warding off evil. The temple's simplicity is striking, with devotees placing immense trust in the protective powers of Lord Shani. The open-air sanctum allows for an unobstructed view of the imposing idol, creating a sense of connection and reverence. The village itself is steeped in faith, and the temple's serene ambiance invites contemplation. Visitors are welcomed to witness the intriguing rituals and practices, reflecting the unwavering devotion of the community. While the simplicity of Shree Shanidev Temple may differ from conventional temples, its unique traditions and the spiritual energy surrounding it make for a memorable and culturally rich visit.

Shri Shanidev Mandir is situated in Shani Shingnapur about 70 km away from Shirdi towards Ahmednagar. You can easily get Cabs, TT's or Auto's on a shared basis or private. Private would charge 1500 rs return and shared would be 200 rs per head return as on March 2024. It's a small village where Shanidev temple is located. Beware of scamsters who can trick you to buy oils and other stuff. Buy only from an authorised store - a pack of oil and blacktil and jow packet. You will not be allowed to put them on sacred stone until you buy a 500 rs coupon. Anybody not willing to spend that much can dedicate them on a netted container kept near the holy stone. Just go through my visuals you will understand. The entry and exit is via an illuminated underground tunnel. There are designated places to keep your footwear as well however people keep them at the nearby stores too. On Saturday it remains a little crowded however on other days it's normal. It could take in total one hour to enter and exit the temple. You could buy Coconut Barfii as prashad in 20 rs a packet of two.

An auspicious place to worship the God of Karma Shanidev. Temple is on one side of the road and entry is from the other side of the road. Entry gate has free shoe stand and Prasad shops. There is a pathway going from under the road to the main temple complex. Ample parking space is there at the entry gate itself. If you want to offer oil on the Shila, you need to take Rs 500/- token. Otherwise there are two platforms near the Shila in which you can offer oil. You may not buy Prasad if you are not taking the token as it may not be allowed to offer at the Shila.

Beware from Local Agent's There is no Special pass for darshan. The Trust has a large parking facility Local agent across your car from your number plate and cheats you, without their permission, park your car directly in the Trust parking lot and go for darshan. Local people will stop you on the bridge and tell you that there is No parking inside etc. But don't be fooled.

Shingnapur is also famous for the fact that no house in the village has doors, only door frames. Despite this, officially no theft has been reported in the village.

We will visit this temple everytime we go to shirdi, it will be around 60 km from shirdi. The last time we visited there was some construction going on. This time when we went it was completed new architecture was built and they have increased the space for shops and walking and all. Better buy the things which are required to do pooja inside the temple, because outside shop people charge alot for any item we buy.
