The Making of this Mandir
Mr.& Mrs.Desai were very devoted disciples of Shirdi Saibaba & used to regularily visit Shirdievery Ramnavami, Gurupurnima & Vijaya Dashami.
Due to aging when Mrs. Desai fell ill for some time, they could`nt make their regularpilgrimages to Shirdi, which really upset them a lot. At that time a thought arose to
Mrs.Desai that like her there might be many a devotees who due to Age, financial problems,ill-health etc might not be able to go to Shirdi for Baba`s darshan so why not to have a
Mandir of SaiBaba here in their area itself.
It is then that they themselves shifted some place else and converted their this GroundFloor House
into Baba`s Mandir in 1977 on Sharad / Kojagiri Purnima (its foundation day)

Also, here Baba is enshrined as a big Picture & not as an Idol because Mrs.Desai believedthat Baba`s true Resting Place - the place where he used to spend most of his time
was "Dwarkamai"
..so named this temple as "SHRI SAI DWARKAMAI MANDIR" thus a Big Picture of Baba sitting in Dwarkamai is kept here instead of an Idol.
All the works & running of this Mandir is looked after a Trust headed by Trustee(since inception) - Mr.Sharad Sawant (Bandra-Mumbai)
