Sai Pallakki Seva

About Pallakki Seva

Pallakki means palanquin. In a Pallakki Seva, an image of the Lord is typically carried in a decorated palanquin in procession while devotees sing and walk alongside. In Shirdi, Baba's Thursday evening palkhi procession is a cherished tradition, and devotees everywhere honour it in their own Mandirs.

Thursday Procession

At Shri Sai Dhyana Kuteera, Shri Sai Pallakki takes place on Thursdays at 6:45 PM, after Dhoop Aarati at 6:15 PM, and before Shej Aarati at 8:00 PM.

Devotional Participation

Devotees may join the procession with devotional songs and bhajans. Those who wish to carry the palanquin or to sponsor the seva may speak to the Mandir.

Festival Processions

On festivals, the Mandir may hold special processions.
