Shirdhi: “one of the most popular religious places in India-
Shirdhi- with almost 30000 visitors every day needs more attention” said
Sandeep Marwah Managing Director of NFTC-National Federation of Tourism And
Transport Cooperatives of India Limited during his visit to Shirdhi Darshan.
The authorities and temple itself collecting huge amount of
money by way of darshan charges and donations, sale of hotels, parashad etc
adds huge amount of turnover. “People should be responsible to bring
cleanliness and pleasant sights to the pilgrimage” added Marwah.
The Shirdi Sai baba temple grossed Rs
1,009 crore in cash collections from grateful devotees in the last four year.50
Percent of the collection is given as donations. Some more money is to be spent
in beautifying the place Marwah suggested.
