Shirdi Hotels: Take A Spiritual Trip Of The Devout Shirdi

Shirdi, a small town in the state of Maharashtra, is a holy village that was the abode of Shree Sai Baba, the holy guru whom the entire India reveres. If you are a true devotee of Sai Baba, then you must visit Shirdi at least once during your lifetime. And even if you are a foreigner, you should definitely check out this village which is so chaste, pure and simple that you will surely be affected by its stream of spirituality. Despite being small, the town has good restaurants and decent Shirdi hotels. People live in simplicity here as opposed to the glamour-struck lifestyle of the metropolitan cities. You do not need to spend much for a Shirdi trip since cost of living is low.

During your trip, make sure to visit the Samadhi Mandir which also houses the idol of Sai Baba. Gurusthan, a pious Neem tree, is another spiritual locale you should check out. Other popular attractions include Dixit Wada Museum, Lendibagh and Shani Shingnapur. For booking Shirdi hotels and to buy a travel guide, you can now contact a local travel company.

If Shirdi is a devout town in the west, then the country’s eastern flank has got another holy town in the form of Puri (in the state of Orissa). Puri is most famous for its temple of Lord Jagannath (known as the Jagannath Puri temple) and for the festivities of Rath Yatra (held in August) when the idols are taken out of the temple for a ride on the chariot.

Other attractions of the place are Swargadwar Beach, Lake Chilika and Konark Temple. Puri hotels are hygienic, good and hospitable. You can now book Puri hotels through online bookings as well.
