Shirdi

Shirdi, in Maharashtra, is one of India’s most visited pilgrimage destinations – home to the Samadhi Mandir of Sai Baba, a saint revered across faiths for his message of unity and compassion. Direct flights connect Chennai to Shirdi in under two hours, making it an easy short break for a weekend of darshan and reflection.

Beyond the temple itself, the town’s Dwarakamai mosque-shrine and the Chavadi shrine offer a glimpse into the life of Sai Baba, while nearby Shani Shingnapur and the UNESCO-listed Ellora Caves make for a rewarding extension for travellers with a little more time. With DK Holidays, choose between a quick 2-day direct-flight darshan trip or a fuller 3-day itinerary that adds Ellora Caves and Shani Shingnapur – both planned end-to-end with comfortable stays and hassle-free transfers.
