Shirdi, Maharashtra: The Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust has received a distinguished offering from a Dubai-based devotee, who has donated an intricately carved, gold‑plated frame for the northern window, inside the Shirdi Temple. This window is deeply revered by pilgrims as it provides the sacred Mukhashadarshan—a direct view of Shri Saibaba’s idol in the Samadhi Mandir.
The newly installed frame, crafted with detailed gold workmanship, has already become a point of admiration for thousands of devotees visiting the shrine each day. Its presence enhances both the devotional atmosphere and the architectural beauty of the Temple.
Ceremonial Installation
Before installation, the Sansthan performed a traditional vidhivat puja, marking the auspicious beginning of the offering. Following the ceremony:
– Official Felicitation: Sansthan Chief Executive Officer Goraksha Gadilkar formally honored the devotee for their generous contribution.
– Respecting Donor’s Wishes: In accordance with the donor’s request, the Sansthan has maintained complete confidentiality regarding their identity.
A Continuing Tradition of Devotion
The Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust continues to welcome heartfelt acts of devotion from devotees across the world. Contributions such as this not only enrich the spiritual ambience of the Temple but also strengthen Shirdi’s role as a global center of faith and inspiration.
