Around 200 km south of Tapovan lies the town of Shirdi, made famous by the great Muslim saint of the early 20th century, Sai Baba (not to be confused with the Sathya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi in South India). He is acknowledged as having performed many miracles.

His chief disciple was Upasani Baba who established his own ashram a few kilometres from Shirdi at Sakori. His teachings emphasised the importance of Yajnya and also encouraged women to practise that. One of his disciples was Sonamata, the Holy Mother of Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan Maharaj, Kalki Avatar.
