7th October (Auspicious Date for Sai Devotees) :-

For pilgrims to Shirdi, darshan at Baba’s tomb is the climax of their visit and the statue of the tomb represents the living, breathing God.

Baba sits relaxed, natural and majestic, gazing beningly on the millions of diverse visitors who flock to him for succour.

The statue, which has become such a famous and well-loved image of Baba, was installed on 7 October 1954, on Vijayadasami day. The same was made by brilliant sculptor and painter, Balaji Vasant Talim.

Humble prostration to him for creating life like portrait of Baba Sai.
