According to Chapter 39 of the Sai Satcharitra, the village of Shirdi underwent a profound transformation due to Sai Baba's presence. Initially described as a small village, it became great and attained the status of a holy pilgrimage site solely because of its association with Sai. The chapter poetically states, "The village of Shirdi was small at first; it became great through the company of Sai. Because of him, it became exceedingly holy; because of him, it attained the status of a place of pilgrimage." This glorification extends to the Dwarkamai building, where Sai lived, and to the people of Shirdi, who were blessed by his grace and presence, which placed them under his debt of grace.
