The optimal time to visit Shirdi in Maharashtra, which is widely celebrated as the home of the revered saint Sai Baba, falls between the months of December and February. During this period, the weather is mostly pleasant and cool, making it comfortable for pilgrims and tourists to explore the spiritual town and participate in various activities. The winter season is characterized by average temperatures ranging from a minimum of 8°C to a maximum of 34°C. Visitors can attend the morning and evening aartis without the discomfort of extreme weather, and the cool breeze in the evenings is ideal for exploring nearby attractions.
For those who are unable to visit during winter, the months of October and November also offer a relatively good time to take a trip to Shirdi as the monsoon season has usually subsided, and the climate remains moderate before the peak of winter sets in. The period coincides with several Hindu festivals, including the auspicious celebrations of Dussehra and Diwali, during which Shirdi witnesses a considerable surge in devotee turnout. Visitors planning their journey during these festival times should make their accommodations and travel bookings well in advance to avoid any last-minute inconveniences due to the heavy influx of pilgrims.
