‘Dhuni is the Sacred fire that perpetually burnt before Baba in

‘Dwarkamai. He performed Nithya Agnihotram. Hence, Dhuni puja plays a very important role as a worship to Shri Shirdi Sai Baba.

During Dhuni puja, Baba is worshiped in the form of Agni.

‘Dhuni’, which is perpetually burning at Shirdi, is the fire sacrifice for burning down the sins to ashes for those who seek complete refuge in this peerless Master. Baba used to distribute the ‘Udi, the ash of this sacred fire to all who came to Him with faith, as a token of His grace. Today also the devotees partake a pinch of this sacred ash as a token of His blessings. The Sacred Ash (popularly known as UDI) had curative powers in it and whosoever visited Shirdi used to carry it with them (Chapter 33 &34 of Shri Satcharitra describe the greatness of UDI).

To date devotees take Udi from Shirdi.

Come and participate in the sacred Dhuni Puja that happens on the first Friday of every month.
