Mahalakshmi Temple

This temple is located just beside pilgrims Inn Hotel on pimpalwadi road; about five minutes walk from Masjid (Dwarakamai). Baba sometimes visited it on his begging rounds and the temple is mentioned in the Shri Sai Satcharitra as Baba once sent devotee there on an unusual mission. Bala Ganapat shimpi had tried so many different sorts of medicines to cure malaria, but nothing affected and he had a raging fever. Baba gave him a curios prescription: "give a black dog some rice mixed with curd in front of Laxmi temple." Shimpi wondered how he would be able to carry out this instruction, but he found the required ingredients at home and took to them to the temple. He saw a black dog at the temple. The dog was eaten the offered food by Shimpi.Then Shimpi quickly recovered. The temple has recently been thoroughly renovated.
