KHANDOBA SHIVA TEMPLE
After the darshan of Sai baba at Shirdi, while surfing on the face book one of my face book friend advised me to go to Khandoba Shiva Temple where Baba was coined as “ Sai”. After noon had been to the Khandoba shiva Temple. We are very lucky for taking the arathi to Lord Shiva and SaiBaba at 18.00 hrs. In sanctum Shiva is not in Linga shape instead human face with Maharaja alangaram and Parvathy & Ganga faces are on both sides. Baba is in standing posture in this temple. The sanctum is made of wooden structure. Had a peaceful darshan.
