Ruigaon

Saibaba occasionally went to Ruigaon which is on the opposite side of Neemgaon. There is an ancient “Audumbar Tree” which dates back to few years before Saibaba’s arrival in Shirdi. Below the Audumbar Tree Black Stone “Shivalinga” and “Nandi” are installed. In front of the Audumbar Tree there is a “Sankat Mochan Hanuman Mandir”. Below the Audumbar Tree on the backside of Shivalinga there is an “Ek Mukhi Dattatreya Mandir”. Besides the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Mandir there is a temple dedicated to “Saptashrungi Mata”.
