Ahilyanagar District

A major pilgrimage destination in Maharashtra, where the Shirdi Sai Baba shrine and the lakes and peaks of the Western Ghats each hold their own appeal.

Ahilyanagar District, formerly known as Ahmednagar District, is located in the north-central part of Maharashtra, India. Shirdi is a famous pilgrimage site across India, where the Sai Baba Samadhi Temple, Dwarkamai, Chavadi, and Gurusthan are located close to each other. Shani Shingnapur is famous for its temple dedicated to Lord Shani and the legend of houses having no doors. The western part of the district lies in the Western Ghats, home to Kalsubai Peak, the highest peak in the state, and Lake Arthur in Bhandardara, where waterfalls and mountain scenery are at their best during the monsoon season. For pilgrimages, the climate is most pleasant from October to March. Gateways include Shirdi Airport and Shirdi Railway Station, with roads also connecting to Mumbai and Pune.
