Khandoba Mandir is a peaceful place for Devotees. My Granny told me to visit khandoba Mandir before Baba Darshan. Hence, worship Khandoba before Baba Darshan. Khandoba Mandir is located opposite to Shirdi Bus stand or cross the road from gate 4 and turn left and then head for 100 metres. You can see the temple under Banyan tree. According to the panditji, he told me that khandoba is nothing but Veera bhadra Swami. He is Kula daivam of Sai and Maharastra. Mahalsapati was the panditji of Khandoba at the times of Sai. He used to worship khandoba in the past. He called the 16 year old boy , "Idhar aa Sai". Then onwards he is been addressed as 🕉️SAI🕉️. The khandoba sculpture is looking good. Along with Khandoba, Baba, Lord Shiva, Mahalsapati and other Goddess Sculptures are there as you can see in the pictures. Overall, experience is wonderful.

Shri Khandoba Mandir in very near to Shirdi Sai Samadhi Mandir at opposite side of the main road. Shri Khandoba is Marthanda Bairav a form of Lord Shiva. Shri Baba first visited this Mandir at Shirdi and the temple preist first called Baba 'Aao Sai' From there on Baba was called Sai Baba.

Temple is good. You cant take photos inside as panditji dont allow it. If you are in shirdi visit this temple this is near sai baba temple.

Khandoba Mandir is situated on the main road. In front of this temple Baba was welcomed by Poojari Mhalsapati, of this temple, who said "Aao Sai", when Baba stepped in Shridi. In this temple there are icons of Khandoba, Banai and Mhalsai. Lord Khandoba was tutelary deity of Mhlasapti, who was priest of Khandoba temple by heredity and he was then responsible for starting worship of Sai Baba. Khandoba temple is well maintained, neat and calm place. It is 15 ft long and 15 ft in breath commemorated with a small shrine and Padukas as its base. A stone idol of Lord Khandoba is located in central shrine of the temple. Also idols of Lord Sai Baba and Mhlasapti are inscribed as a remembrance of event of Lord Baba coming to Shirdi. When it comes to daily rituals now, two artis at 12 noon and 6:00 PM are performed daily

Holly place for Hindu devotees. GOD SHREE KHANDOBA is worshipped as image of lord Shiva in the form of Bhairav. The turmeric (yellow) colour is the symbol for worship.

Lord Khandoba was tutelary deity of Mhlasapti, who was priest of Khandoba temple by heredity and he was then responsible for starting worship of Sai Baba. Khandoba temple which had its origin about 500 years ago was but natural rural and simple. It did not even had a door. There is large banyan tree where Sai Baba alighted with marriage party of Chand Patil at the entrance of Khandoba temple and it stands today also. Having felt calmness and peace at this place, Lord Sai Baba first decided to make this temple His residence, but Bhagat Mhlasapati thought Him to be Muslim and did not allow Him to stay there. Baba said to him while leaving, "If you do not wish that I should stay here, I will go away". Thenafter, Baba made an old dilapidated mosque of Shirdi His residence and lived there till His last breath. Khandoba temple holds importance in other way too. Sai Baba asked Upasani Maharaj, a staunch and prominent devotee, to stay at this temple for four years for his spiritual upliftment . Khandoba temple is well maintained, neat and calm place. It is 15 ft long and 15 ft in breath commemorated with a small shrine and Padukas as its base. A stone idol of Lord Khandoba is located in central shrine of the temple.

Nice place near shirdi bus stops

A very old ancient temple of Khandoba where Sai first appeared under a tree and the priest of temple Mhalsapati gave the name Sai by calling Him "Aao Sai" Khandoba is Lord Shiva. Temple is on the main road approx 1 km from main Sai temple, calm and peaceful place for worship and meditation.

This is an Epic temple at Shirdi This was the place Saint Saibaba alighted at Shirdi .

Shri Khandoba Mandir is Hindu temple in Main street Sai Nagar Shirdi Maharashtra India. Temple is dedicated to Khandoba, who is the presiding deity of the Town. It is believed that Sai Baba came to Shirdi for a second time.

Religious place and well maintained . This temple is from sai baba's time period.

Devotional place ,, horse cart raiding is available on shirdi road

This is the place where Sai got his name One should visit A lot of information is. Available Number of photos displayed You will feel happy by visiting this place

When Baba entered this temple in Shirdi for the first time along with a marriage party, Mhalsapati(The priest) welcomed him as Aao Sai. Goosebumps 🙏🙏

900 years old temple. They have started renovating it. This place is in Neem Gaon where Sai Baba first visited. So there is another temple just 500m away which one can visit.

Was thinking of visiting Khandoba Mandir at Shirdi since long as I had heard about this old temple in various books. At last I could make it. Aarati was going on when I visited. It was an Thursday and an auspicious day. The temple is simple but quite peaceful and the one with faith would definitely feel divinity in its premise. Those visiting Shirdi should take the darshan of Khandoba too.

Old photos are good...Baba steps first foot here

Great history attached with this place

Ok

Visited this temple before going to Sai temple...peacefull temple and found some of Sai pictures..we got to see aarathi also when we visited.. normal common ppl can perform aarathi here..must visit temple.

Sai baba first visited this khandoba Mandir and malsapati the pujari of khandoba Mandir called him by sai name.

Decent place located near Sai Baba Samadhi Temple. One of the historical place in Shirdi so you should visit once here. Nearby you will get another temple of Chote baba samadhi Temple. 💛 Jay Malhar 💛

It’s a wonderful and peaceful mandir which is located diagonally opposite to Gate 4. It is mentioned in Sai Satcharitra that Baba always told his devotees to visit this Mandir when they came to see him. It is a small Mandir. Darshan takes hardly 5 to ten minutes when not crowded.

Baba when entered first time he was welcomed by Mhalsapati saying Aao Sai. Hence one should visit this temple first.

Shri Khandoba ji is incarnation of Lord Shiva and Gram devta of Shirdi. In this temple Mhalsapati ji was priest when Sai Baba came to Shirdi and met Mhalsapati ji who called him saying "Ya Sai" means aao Sai. That's how our Sai Baba got the name Sai. A must visit for every Sai devotee coming to Shirdi.

First temple in SHIRÐI,before SRI SAI BABA entered SHIRDI.

It's very close to the Saibaba Temple Complex towards Shirdi Bus stand. It's rather almost in front of Shirdi Bus stand also adj to Nagar palika market complex. Must visit cause it's the place where Sai Baba first came to shirdi, still being nicely maintained by Mahaslapati ji great grand son's now. Mahaslapati was the priest of the temple who said " AAO SAI " Since then Sai Baba Thanks n Regards

Very peaceful old temple. The same idol of Lord Shiva's incarnation which was prayed by Sai.

🌹🌹Great ancient placé on the very main road of Shirdi .Every day Aarti done. This place is Pooja deity of Shri Mahalsapati, who introduced Sai to Shirdi.Jai Sai Baba🙏

Before having Baba's darshan at Samadhi Mandir, everyone has to visit this grama devatha temple i.e., Khandoba Mandir. Shirdi Sai Baba first time visited this temple and there he was called as "Aao Sai" by then priest Mahalsapati. Since then He was named as Saibaba. A must visit temple in Shirdi.

Devote and devotion place there are no words to explain more

Super temple which is so divine and you can see the priest who did Puja to both kandoba baba and sai baba and khandoba baba who is form of lord Shiva i recommend to go there when you go to shirdi and visit there

This temple is historic, in the sense; this was the place where Mahalsapati & Sri Sai Baba(who first entered Shirdi) had met each other. 'Ao Sai' was a greeting to Sai Baba by Mahalsapati. This is how Sai Baba got his name as SAI. Mahalsapati was a saint at Khandoba temple.

One of the places to visit in shirdi. It has all the photos of prominent people associated with sai.

Nice mandir whenever you visit shirdi first go to khandoba mandir Ani then visit the Sai Baba mandir this is the ritual of Shirdi

(Translated by Google) Aao Sai !! (Original) Aao Sai!!🙏

It's amazing atmosfare in the temple...

This place isVery pious n close to sai devotees,one cn hv blessings of shri mahalsaptiji s next generation.they all r very simple n down to earth persons.

I visited first Khandoba mandir then sai mandir as per rituals

This is where Sai baba was named Sai by Mahalsapatiji

"Aao Sai" - it was divine to sit at Khandoba Mandir. We came back to life as the positive energy was flowing there. We would never miss a chance to visit there again, rather we will plan for it, soon.

#Shirdi #KhandobaMandir 🕉 Nama Shivaya🙏🏻 When Sai Baba first entered into Shirdi village after becoming adult, this is the place where he was given the name as SAI when the Khandoba temple priest Mhalsapathi said "AAO SAI" 🙏

Good feeling

Good temple

Nice temple ! everyone who visits shirdi should visit this temple as well .This temple has a historical significance.

A very peaceful place. Khandoba Mandir is very ancient and belongs to time period of sai Baba. Khandoba is LORD SHIVA. This is the place where sai Baba first appeared in shirdi under a tree and the priest of this Mandir called him AAO SAI (YOU ARE WELCOME SAI). This gave the name to him forever owning the heart of millions of Indians by the name SAI BABA! Its very near to main SAI SAMADHI MANDIR of shirdi. Must visit the place to feel serenity!
