What was the original plan for the building that eventually became the Samadhi Mandir?

πŸ“– Chapter 39

The original plan for the building, known as the Buti Wada, was to construct a temple and a mansion. According to Chapter 39, Bapusaheb Buti planned to create a central courtyard with a throne for an idol of Murlidhar. This plan was presented to Sai Baba by Shama, who sought Baba's permission. Baba joyfully approved the construction, giving his blessing by telling them to break a coconut to mark the auspicious start of the foundation work. The initial intent was for it to be a temple for Murlidhar, not Baba's final resting place.
