On the backdrop of COVID-19, considering the directions and guidelines issued by the
government the Sai Baba temple has been opened for the darshan to the Devotees by following all theguidelines for darshan.
Accordingly, initially about 6000 Sai Devotees were planned for darshan in the Samadhi
temple per day. But the number of Sai Devotees visiting Shirdi on public Holidays, Thursdays,
Saturdays and Sundays are increasing gradually. Now more than 15000 Sai Devotees are
coming to Shirdi for darshan on these days.
Considering all the aspects in the above context and on the backdrop of covid-19 the
temple administration can allow maximum 12000 Sai devotees per day for darshan during
peak days by following all the guidelines of the government. If the flow of devotees continues in
this manner, it will be difficult to provide darshan of Shri Saibaba to all Sai Devotees, who come
without prior booking to Shirdi for Darshan. This will also vitiates the covid-19 guidelines.
If the number of devotees exceeds than the prescribed limit of temple, the counters of free
darshan pass distribution centres, as well as darshan queues can lead to an unprecedented situation. Hence on the background of Covid-19, it is necessary to take the following measures so that Sai Devotees can have easy and hassle-free access for darshan.
• Availability of Darshan Pass will be published on daily basis at all entrances of the
temple, Sansthan premises, Bhaktaniwas accommodation centres, Sansthan website,
newspapers, and TV media channels.

while making darshan pass reservations through the website online.sai.org.in. It will be
also mandatory for Sai Devotees to carry the same photo ID while coming for darshan.
