Shirdi Visit

We went to Shirdi on Sunday Morning. After struggling with huge traffic jam, we could reach there by 2 in the afternoon. Better part of the story is we had immensely good darshan there. We could spend a good amount of time in the sanctum.

After that, we went to shani signapur temple. The temple as its name suggests is for devotees of Shani Dev. Method of prayer at this temple is quite unique. First of all, only men are allowed to perform pooja (women can go inside but have to stand at some distance from the idol). Before entering into the temple, the devotee has to take bath and without rubbing water from his body in two clothes , one his innerwear and another is a dhoti (provided by shops there), he has to offer his prayers.

Nobody at signapur locks his door. It is believed that if somebody does any kind of stealing at the place would be immensely harmed by Shani Dev. Even visitors have to leave their wallets etc openly in tourist buses, jeeps etc.

After that, we started for Mumbai and via pune we arrived here at around 5 in the morning. Overall it took complete 24 hours. (i got up at 5 am only on previous day).
