Sai Baba's approach to religious festivals was one of inclusive and equal celebration, embracing traditions from both Hinduism and Islam.

He also organized the preparation of Gopal-Kala for Gokul Ashtami. Simultaneously, he placed no obstacles on Muslim celebrations, giving his permission for Namaj during Eid. He also sanctioned the making of a Tabut for Moharram, allowing the procession to be held with ceremony. The text emphasizes that he conducted both Hindu and Muslim festivals with equal joy, using them as opportunities for communal harmony.
