Chavadi
चावडी
The small hut where Sai Baba spent the night in his later years, and the starting point of the palanquin procession from Dwarkamai every Thursday evening.
Chavadi was originally the village council hall. In his later years, Sai Baba moved from Dwarkamai to sleep here every other night, and devotees accompanied him with chanting. This evolved into the palanquin procession held every Thursday evening today. The hut preserves relics including a wooden bed and wheelchair he used, and portraits of him hang on the walls. Chavadi is right next to Dwarkamai. Entry is free, and a visit takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Next door is the former home of Haji Abdul Baba.
Opening hours
