Shirdiârevered as the abode of Shri Sai Babaâdraws roughly 25,000 pilgrims each day, a figure that can swell to around 100,000 during festival seasons. Travelers based in Pune frequently embark on a one-day trip excursion to offer their respects to this globally celebrated spiritual guide.
Sai Baba is venerated by followers of all faiths as both the universeâs creator and destroyer, and is often identified with Lord Shiva. One Day Pune to Shirdi Trip By Cab As a testament to this, youâll find a Shiva Linga installed within the main shrine and another nestled beneath the famed neem tree.
Once a sleepy hamlet, Shirdi rose to prominence after Sai Baba made it his home.

From that point on, his teachings on universal love and his reputed healing miracles transformed Shirdi into the thriving pilgrimage center it is today.
