Chote Baba’s pratima is carried by devotees with them to Shirdi in the train where his regular artis are done. Bhakts sing & dance on Sai Bhajans. This year,Special Vishal Sai Bhandara for 3000 poor & hungry in Shirdi & Vastradan for 2000 needy people is organized right next to Samadhi Mandir. Special palki was organized where devotees passed through Samadhi Mandir, Chavadi, Dwarkamai & Khandoba Mandir & back to Samadhi Mandir. Palki started with Palki Pujan by Sh. Makund Rao Patil (grandson of Bayajamai who starts Baba’s palki on Thursday in Shirdi) & Chote Baba’s pratima & Baba’s photo was placed amidst Dhol, Nagade & Trumpets. Devotees sang & danced in the entire route to beats of dhol. At Chavadi, special silver coloured Arjun rath was arranged in which chote Baba was placed with fanfare. Devotees moved along side the rath dancing with joy & moved to Khandoba Mandir, where Baba has stepped 1st in Shirdi. The palki ended with Baba going for evening arti inside Samadhi Mandir. All the devotees around the Samadhi mandir moved along with Sai Dham group to take blessings of Chote Baba in Vineetji’s hands.
