Can you explain the circumstances that led to Sai Baba arriving and settling in Shirdi?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 5

Sai Baba's arrival in Shirdi was connected to the wedding of Chand Patil's nephew. As detailed in Chapter 5, Chand Patil, who was the village head of Dhup, had arranged a marriage for his wife's nephew with a bride from Shirdi. Baba, who had been staying with Patil after their miraculous first encounter, joined the wedding party as a guest for the journey to Shirdi. The texts state that after the wedding concluded and the party prepared to return, Baba alone stayed behind. This decision marked the beginning of his permanent residence in the village, an event described as the dawning of Shirdi's fortune.
