What was the role of the Mirikars in helping Dixit get to Shirdi?

The Mirikars played a supportive and foundational role in arranging H.S. Dixit's journey to Shirdi. According to Chapter 51, after his work was done in Ahmednagar, a deeply worried Dixit respectfully requested help from Balasaheb Mirikar, the Mamlatdar, and his father Kakasaheb. They discussed who could accompany him, showing their willingness to assist. More importantly, their home in Nagar became the meeting point. It was at Mirikar's house where Balasaheb formally introduced Dixit to Madhavrao Deshpande, and the travel plans were solidified. Their residence also housed Baba's repaired portrait, making their home a crucial setting for these auspicious events.
