This cottage is in front of the Chavadi. Abdul Baba was conferred the title of Sultan and was called Chotu Sultan of Nanded Village. He was married to Umran Bi and had a son. Abdul was serving Amiruddin Baba and following a dream vision, Amiruddin sent him to Shirdi. In Shirdi he worked as a Sevak doing all sorts of menial jobs. As he did not have any income he begged for his food. He strictly followed Baba’s instructions of “Eat very little and sleep very little”.

He slept wherever he could. Then he built a small mud house where his cottage now stands. When the Sansthan was formed they leased this land and cottage to him. He kept busy looking after Baba’s Samadhi.

The devotees, who visit his cottage have an opportunity to venerate the Chimta (Prongs). It is said that it was given to him by Baba. Abdul treasured it and venerated it daily with Loban (incense). After Baba’s Mahasamadhi, Abdul used this for curing the pains and ailments of devotees. One can have darshan of the original photographs of Baba that are hung on the left wall.

Baba is also said to have given him a Satka and a Tin Mug.  But we devotees should be most grateful to Abdul Baba for writing down the sayings, teachings and parables of Baba in a notebook. He read them daily like a Koran.

His descendant Ghani Bhai is given the honour of doing the Alankar Baba’s Samadhi every day at 10 A.M. The Samadhi is cleaned and a floral arrangement is done.
