    One of the most popular religious destinations in the country, Saibaba Temple in Shirdi witnesses lakh of devotees visiting the holy site every year.

    SHIRDI (MAHARASHTRA) : Shirdi will remain closed for an indefinite period from today in the wake of Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray's decision to develop Pathri town in Parbhani as Sai Baba's birthplace.

    However, Deepak Madukar Muglikar, chief executive officer of Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, has said that Sai Baba Temple in Shirdi will remain open today and will not be impacted by the closure of the city.

    "There are some reports in media that Sai Temple in Shirdi will remain closed on January 19. I want to clarify that it is just a rumor. Temple will remain open on January 19," Muglikar said.

    A call has been given for indefinite closure of Shirdi after Thackeray's reported comment terming Pathri in Parbhani as Sai Baba's birthplace. "Devotees will not face any difficulty if they come to Shirdi," said B. Wakchaure, member of Saibaba Sansthan Trust.

    Thackeray has recently announced that Pathri will be developed as the birthplace of Sai Baba for religious tourism and also took a review meeting of the development plans in Parbhani district.

    One of the most popular religious destinations in the country, Saibaba Temple in Shirdi witnesses lakh of devotees visiting the holy site every year.
