According to Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's return to Shirdi is a pivotal event. After a period of being 'hidden,' this spiritual 'gem' was rediscovered within a Muslim wedding party that came to Shirdi. This wedding party belonged to a man named Chand Patil, a fortunate individual from the village of Dhup. The narrative in Chapter 5 explains that it was this encounter with Chand Patil, who Baba helped find his lost mare, that ultimately led to Baba's reappearance in Shirdi, a place that was already home to other saints like Devidas and Janakidas Gosavi.
