Shirdi Sai Baba is needs no introduction. Not only in India but all across the globe is this saint and his powers revered. Although he is believed to be hailing from Shirdi (250 km East of India), temples in his name and devotion have been built all around the country. The Sai Baba temple located in Nagpur is a replica of the original Sai Baba temple located in Shirdi. The temple’s construction was completed in the year 1979. Around 2000 visitors visit the temple every day while on Thursdays, the number increases to around 2500. The idol of Sai Baba was brought to the temple by Shri Babulaji Warti and sculpted by Shri Talim of Mumbai. The special aspect of Sai Baba and his teachings include that of opposing religious rigidity and respect for all faiths and castes.
