When Baba entered this temple in Shirdi for the first time along with a marriage party, Mhalsapati(The priest) welcomed him as Aao Sai. Goosebumps 🙏🙏

Holly place for Hindu devotees. GOD SHREE KHANDOBA is worshipped as image of lord Shiva in the form of Bhairav. The turmeric (yellow) colour is the symbol for worship.

Khandoba Mandir is situated on the main road. In front of this temple Baba was welcomed by Poojari Mhalsapati, of this temple, who said "Aao Sai", when Baba stepped in Shridi. In this temple there are icons of Khandoba, Banai and Mhalsai. Lord Khandoba was tutelary deity of Mhlasapti, who was priest of Khandoba temple by heredity and he was then responsible for starting worship of Sai Baba. Khandoba temple is well maintained, neat and calm place. It is 15 ft long and 15 ft in breath commemorated with a small shrine and Padukas as its base. A stone idol of Lord Khandoba is located in central shrine of the temple. Also idols of Lord Sai Baba and Mhlasapti are inscribed as a remembrance of event of Lord Baba coming to Shirdi. When it comes to daily rituals now, two artis at 12 noon and 6:00 PM are performed daily

Before having Baba's darshan at Samadhi Mandir, everyone has to visit this grama devatha temple i.e., Khandoba Mandir. Shirdi Sai Baba first time visited this temple and there he was called as "Aao Sai" by then priest Mahalsapati. Since then He was named as Saibaba. A must visit temple in Shirdi.

Khandoba Mandir is a peaceful place for Devotees. My Granny told me to visit khandoba Mandir before Baba Darshan. Hence, worship Khandoba before Baba Darshan. Khandoba Mandir is located opposite to Shirdi Bus stand or cross the road from gate 4 and turn left and then head for 100 metres. You can see the temple under Banyan tree. According to the panditji, he told me that khandoba is nothing but Veera bhadra Swami. He is Kula daivam of Sai and Maharastra. Mahalsapati was the panditji of Khandoba at the times of Sai. He used to worship khandoba in the past. He called the 16 year old boy , "Idhar aa Sai". Then onwards he is been addressed as 🕉️SAI🕉️. The khandoba sculpture is looking good. Along with Khandoba, Baba, Lord Shiva, Mahalsapati and other Goddess Sculptures are there as you can see in the pictures. Overall, experience is wonderful.
