Shirdi Sanaischara

Jai Sanidevatha

This Sanaischara Shrine separately located within the premises of Shirdi Sai Temple.

Just behind the new outdoor theatre is a row of three small temples. They are dedicated to Ganesh,Shani (i.e. Saturn) and Mahadev (i.e. Shiva). Baba's local devotee, Tatya Kote Patil, was fond of offering lamps here. The shrines were rebuilt and enlarged in l999 as part of the re-modelling of the Temple complex.

The small samadhi of the tiger, commemorated by a statue in Dwarkamai and said to have received mukti from Baba, is a few feet from the Mahadev shrine.

Jay Rahu Sanaischaraa

Panchavati Sanaischara

Jai Sanaischarammaa

Panchavati is a place of religious significance and a pilgrimage spot,[1] near the city of Nashik in Maharashtra, western India. In Hindu theology and epic Ramayana, Panchavati was the place in the forest of Dandakaranya (Danda Kingdom), where Rama built his home along with his wife Sita and brother Lakshman during their exile period.

Among many famous temples in Panchavati, also there is a Shani Temple located 1/2 km on the way prior to reach Panchavati.



Jaya Jaya Sanaischaraa

Shingnapur Sanaischara

Jai Surya Sanaischara

Shingnapur is situated at a distance of 6 kms from Ghodegaon on Aurangabad-Ahmednagar highway. The distance from Aurangabad is 84 kms and from Ahmednagar it is 35 kms. From Ghodegaon, there is a motor able tar road up to the idol of Shri Shaneshwar and is open in all the seasons. The population of this village is about 3000. There are no regular buses but on pilgrimage days there are special transport buses plying to Shignapur.State Transport buses ply regularly to Shingnapur from Ahmednagar, Aurangabad.

The presiding deity of Shinganapur, Sri Shaneshwara or Lord Shanidev- the personification of the planet Saturn is worshipped with utmost reverence and devotion by multitudes of people from all over the world. The spectacle of the deity in black stone is overwhelming. A unique aspect of this place is, that no temple structure houses the Shanidev. There is only a simple platform on which stands the swayambhu idol, in black stone.

One of the unique aspects of the village Shiganapur is that houses here have no door- frames or locks on them for safety. They are in fact not needed. The people here believe that it is the benediction of the god that no crime ever occurs in this village.

Shri Dattatraya Temple and the tomb of Sant Shri Udasi Baba are the nearby attractions.
