sai imagesShri Gurusthan: The tranquil site of Gurusthan rests beneath a neem tree to the northeast of the Main temple. Shri Saibaba graced this location with his divine presence in 2016, marking a significant event on April 15, coinciding with Sri Rama Navami. Before this manifestation, Baba resided in the Sai Nirmalya house at Sector 9, CDA, Cuttack, for fourteen months. Revered Gurujee orchestrated a miraculous welcome and puja upon Baba's arrival, echoing the divine occurrences witnessed in Shirdi. Just as in Shirdi, Baba's journey unfolded from Gurusthan to Dwarkamai and ultimately to his divine abode within the main temple.
 



                                                                             

                                                                           

sai imagesShri Dwarkamai: Shree Dwarkamai was inaugurated by Rev Gurujee Dr C.B. Satpathy on 27 November 2018 as a tribute to the Master on the occasion of the centenary year of Baba's Mahasamadhi. This Dwarkamai is made of ablik replica of Shiridi, where Shree Saibaba resided for almost sixty years during his sojourn. Crafted meticulously with an exact replica of Shirdi's Dwarkamai, its architecture exudes an enchanting charm, transporting devotees to Baba's original abode upon entry. Every detail, from the rock where Baba used to seat to the place where he used to distribute Udi, to the spot where he personally cooked for devotees, and the vicinity of the sacred Dhooni, has been faithfully recreated. This thoughtful design aims to evoke the atmosphere of Baba's time, allowing devotees to experience the essence of Dwarkamai as it was in Shirdi. For those unable to visit Shirdi, this Dwarkamai serves as a spiritual sanctuary, offering an opportunity to experience the divine presence and extraordinary life of Shri Saibaba within their own communities.
