SaiBaba Theme Park in Ahilyanagar, Shirdi, India, has recently opened its doors to the public, offering visitors a new cultural and spiritual attraction centered on the life and teachings of Sai Baba. Supported by the local government, the project was inaugurated by Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, Minister of Water Resources for Maharashtra and a member of the Legislative Assembly for Shirdi. The new park aims to boost local tourism while honoring one of India’s most revered spiritual figures.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Minister Patil described the park as “a beautiful work of art that adds luster to Shirdi.” The park’s founder, Mr. Hemant Wani, said his vision came from observing similar attractions abroad, adding, “The wax figure gives the sense that Sai Baba is right before you, creating a deeper emotional connection than a photograph can.” Hemant Wani is an Indian Creative Artist specializing in paintings of Sai Baba, whose works have been exhibited in various art galleries in Delhi and Mumbai, including a major exhibition at the Bandrakullah Complex.

Media coverage from Shirdi TV showed a continuous flow of visitors through the exhibits, reinforcing the project’s immediate popularity in the region.
