The idea of constructing a temple like Shirdi Mandir on a larger scale originated from Shri Sai Mandir Dhantoli. One body for this purpose was formed in 1971. For legal fulfillment one trust was formed in 1972 which is registered same time. The present sight was purchased from Shri Banerjee in 1974 and Bhoomipujan was performed in 1976. The required funds were raised by way of donations, cultural programs. The main designer and Architect of the Mandir is Shri Shivdanmal who took pains in entire construction of Mandir.
The attractive idol is donated by Shri Babulalji Warti. This idol is identical to Shirdi mandir and the sculpture is provided by Shri Talim of Mumbai. The entire construction got completed in 1979. The religious ceremony of Consecration of the idol was performed during period 1st December 1979 to 4th December 1979 which was celebrated by the gracious hands of Chief venerable Godavari Mata from Sakuri (a place near Shirdi). It is believed that Shri Saibaba is having his blessings on this Temple. The endeavor is made to propagate the teachings of Saibaba through programs and cultural activities.
Approximately 2000 devotees visit the temple everyday, but on Thursdays this figure raises to 25000.
