Sri Sai Janmasthan Temple (Sai Baba Birth Temple) is a temple in Pathri city of Parbhani district of Maharashtra, India. It has been claimed that Pathri is the real birthplace of Sai Baba, which has been subject to controversy.[1]
History
In 1970s, a field research claimed that Shri Sai Baba was born in Pathri village. Sri Sai Smarak Samiti (Sai Memorial committee) was then formed in Pathri. A committee purchased land for temple on site of Sai Baba's house and construction of the temple was started in 1994. In 1999 the temple was inaugurated to the public.[2][3][4][5][6]
