Good to know
Paid darshan and aarti passes are limited and are usually sold on the official Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust website. Book them as soon as your dates are fixed, especially for Thursdays and festivals.
Phones, cameras and large bags are usually not allowed inside the Samadhi Mandir. Leave them at the hotel or in the free lockers.
The Sansthan's Prasadalaya serves very low-cost meals for devotees all day, which many families prefer to restaurants.
Guru Purnima, Ram Navami and Vijayadashami (Sai Baba's Punyatithi) bring huge crowds, and hotel rates double. Plan well ahead for these dates.
Beware of touts offering 'VIP darshan' near the temple. Use only official passes from the Sansthan.
Questions travellers ask
How long is the darshan queue in Shirdi?
On normal weekdays the free general queue usually takes 1–2 hours. On Thursdays, weekends and festivals it can take 3–5 hours. Paid darshan passes shorten the wait.
Which aarti should we attend?
There are four daily aartis: Kakad (around 4:30 am), Madhyan (noon), Dhoop (sunset) and Shej (around 10 pm). Kakad and Shej have limited seats and usually need a pass booked in advance.
Can we add Trimbakeshwar or Nashik?
Yes. Trimbakeshwar is about 120 km (3 hours) from Shirdi. It fits as an extra day, or see our Maharashtra Jyotirlinga Yatra, which covers three Jyotirlingas with Shirdi.
Is Shirdi airport well connected?
Shirdi airport has a few daily flights, mostly from Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai and Delhi, and schedules change by season. Nashik and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar airports are alternatives, about 2.5–3 hours by road.
