Built by a rich devotee Gopalrao Booty, the Sai Baba samadhi mandir was originally planned as a rest house on the garden land which was tended by Sai Baba. But after a dream that Booty had in which Sai Baba asked him to build a temple instead, the shrine was built on the land with Baba’s permission and blessings. Later, when Baba passed away, his body was buried at the place where the idol of Murlidhar was to be installed. In 1954, Baba’s statue was installed at the same spot.
