A devotee of Akkalkot Maharaj,by name Bhaj Krishnaji Alibagkar,worshipped the photo of Akkalkot Maharaj.He once thought of going to Akkalkot (Solapur district),take the darshan of the Padukas (foot-prints) of the Maharaj and offer his sincere prayer there,but before he could go there,he got a vision in his dream.Akkalkot Maharaj appeared in the vision and said to him,”Now,Shirdi is my resting place,go there and offer your worship!” So,Bhai changed his plan and came to Shirdi,worshipped Baba,stayed there for six months and was happy.As a reminiscence of this vision etc.,he prepared the Padukas and installed them on an auspicious day of Shravan,Shaka 1834 (1912 A.D.) under the Neem tree with due ceremonies and formalities,conducted by Dada Kelkar and Upasani.One Dixit Brahmin was appointed for worship,and the management was entrusted to devotee Sagun.
