Three main festivals in Shirdi

  • Ramnavami (March/April),
  • Guru Purnima (July)
  • Vijayadashami (September)

These three festivals are celebrated in the Shirdi with great passion. Many people visit Shirdi during these days to celebrate the festival with Saibaba and devotees and take part in the events during the festival. There are programs on puja, bhajan, and public parayana (reading of scriptures and devotional texts). These are the only days when the Samadhi Mandir of Shirdi opens for the whole night. Every Thursday, a palakhi bearing a photograph of the sage is taken out from the temple.
