Other temples – Maruti, Mahadev, Saturn and Ganesh Ganesh temple is the smallest one of all. It is an old temple with a small idol of Lord Ganesha. Maruti temple is situated in mid distance of Dwarkamai and Chawri. It is said that this is the only temple besides Khandoba in Shirdi village having direct association with the life of Sai Baba at Shirdi. Baba used to often make mystic sign towards Maruti temple while passing by with palanquin procession. This is a south-facing temple, which is uncommon in Hindu religion.

Mahadev temple is also quite old. In front of this there is a ‘Nandi’, and behind ‘Nandi’ a tomb of tiger is erected who breathed his last at the sacred feet of Shri Sai Baba in Dwarkamai masjid.    Shani temple is dedicated to Lord Saturn, a powerful planet. There is a small ‘dhuni’ (sacred fire) in Saturn temple also. Here Baba’s large portrait is placed behind the idol of Saturn.

Devotees read spiritual literature in the quiet and serene environment of this place.Another important place is ‘Prasadalay’ or the canteen run by the trust, where highly subsidised food is distributed as ‘Prasad’ (blessed food). It reminds the devotees of Baba’s cooking for his children with a motherly tenderness in Dwarkamai masjid. On special days like Guru Poornima, Ram Navami etc. lakhs of devotees, partake of the food here without any restriction of class, caste or religion. This mass feeding is done through coupon system from the counter of the canteen.The lanes of Shirdi around Samadhi temple have a number of shops selling momento, offerings and flowers.
