Samadhi Mandir

Location

The temple was owned by Shreemant Gopalrao a Sai devotee from Nagpur. The temple itself is built with stones but Sai Baba’s Samadhi is built with white marble and is surrounded by ornamentally decorated railings. In 1954 Balaji Vasant sculpted a marble idol of Sai Baba sitting on a throne. This sculpture is seen inside the temple. Within the temple there is a hall for about 600 people and the first floor has a gallery of pictures depicting the life of the saint.

On Thursdays a special aarti is performed at the temple. Queues to attend this puja are very long and take more than 3 -4 hours.

A millionaire from Nagour and an ardent devotee of Sai Baba owned the Samadhi Mandir. He wanted to install an idol of Murlidhar in the temple. Legend has it that the Baba himself became Murlidhar and the temple became Samadhi Mandir. The idol of Baba is made of Italian marble which was built by Late Balaji Vasant in 1954.

Baba’s Samadhi is built with white marble stones. The rails close to it are full of ornamental decorations.

The temple is open from 5 am in the morning with prayers and it is closed at 10 pm with prayers.
