Dwarkamai Masjid is a sacred mosque located in Shirdi, Maharashtra, India, and is considered to be one of the most significant places of worship for Sai Baba devotees. The mosque holds immense historical and spiritual significance as it served as the dwelling place of the revered saint, Sai Baba, for over 60 years of his life.
Dwarkamai is a term that was coined by Sai Baba himself, which refers to the presence of all gods in one place. The mosque is situated near the Shri Sai Baba Samadhi Mandir and is visited by thousands of devotees from all over the world who come to seek blessings and pay their respects to Sai Baba.
The architecture of the mosque is unique and blends both Hindu and Islamic styles, which is a reflection of Sai Baba's teachings that advocated unity and harmony among all religions. The mosque is a simple yet humble structure, with a small entrance that leads to a courtyard where devotees can sit and meditate. The mosque also has a dhuni or sacred fire that was lit by Sai Baba himself and has been kept burning ever since his passing.
The mosque has several rooms that were used by Sai Baba during his lifetime, including a room where he slept, a room where he cooked food for his devotees, and a room where he would receive guests. These rooms have been preserved and are now open to visitors who can witness the simplicity of Sai Baba's life and teachings.
