Shirdi (Maharashtra) [India] – In the year 2018, India got its first-ever Devotional Theme Park in the form of Sai Teerth. The meticulously designed and constructed devotional theme park proved to be yet another architectural innovation from the Malpani Group.

There is also Lanka Dahan, a 5D cinematic experience which recounts the adventure of Hanuman in Sri Lanka and Dwarkamai, a world-class animatronics and robotics show depicting the life of Sai Baba. Now, a visit to Sai Teerth will become even more rewarding with the launch of a world-class laser show.
