Dwarkamai

द्वारकामाई

The old mosque where Sai Baba lived for about 60 years. A sacred fire burns constantly here, and devotees receive sacred ash.

Dwarkamai was originally a dilapidated mosque. Sai Baba named it “Dwarkamai” (Mother Dwarka) and spent much of his life there. The hall preserves the stone he sat on, a grinding mill, and the eternal sacred fire. Devotees receive sacred fire ash as a protective relic. It stands a few dozen meters east of Samadhi Mandir and is free to enter, usually with a separate short queue. The small Hanuman temple nearby was also a frequent place of worship for Sai Baba, so the two can be visited together.
