Aum Sai Ram
They say there is not a single devotee in the World who has returned empty handed from Shirdi.
Be it the Wealthy or the Poor, Baba has never refused anyone.
Be it any problem, no matter how big the difficulty may be, just one darshan of Baba removes all miseries for ever.
So, devotees come to Shirdi not only from India but from all over the World.
But, soon the rules for Darshan are going to change as the Shirdi Sansthan may implement a Dress Code for Darshan at the Shirdi Temple.
Devotees, especially the Females would be barred from having Baba's darshan if they enter the Temple wearing Shorts, Minis, Sleeveless Tops, Bermudas, Jeans and other Western outfit's. In fact, exposure of body would be prohibited.
As per the Dress Code, the Dress worn by devotees should be of a decent outfit, like Saree's/Ladies full Suits for Women.
This decision was taken by the Sansthan following complaints from many a devotees,
who felt that Baba lived with Simplicity and so everyone should be appropriately dressed, when in the Samadhi Shrine, for Baba's Darshan, so as to protect the Sanctity of the Temple.
The attire problem arises when some celebrities, rich devotees or foreigners visit the temple dressed inappropriately.
According to Sansthan Trustee Sri.Ashok Khambekar, Shirdi has become an Internationally recognized Pilgrimage and so like other temple's a Dress Code should be implemented in Shirdi also.
The Dress Code will be implemented after a final decision is taken by the Sansthan in its next Trust Board Meeting.
What remains to be seen is what options does the Sansthan give to those foreigners for whom western outfits are their normal life style of dressing.
