Jejuri Khandoba — the 'Sonyachi Jejuri' (Golden Jejuri) — is one of Maharashtra's most spectacular and photographable pilgrimages. The hilltop Khandoba temple, where Lord Shiva incarnated as Martand Bhairav to slay demons, is famous for the bhandara ritual — devotees shower each other with turmeric powder, turning the entire hillside golden yellow.
Located 200 km from Shirdi in Pune district, Jejuri is the Kuldev of countless Maratha, Dhangar and Vanjari community families. For families performing traditional Khandoba puja, jawal (first-hair) ceremony, or lagna aashirvad (marriage blessings), Jejuri is a must-visit alongside Shirdi Sai Baba darshan.
Sai Cabs runs 4–6 Shirdi to Jejuri trips weekly, primarily same-day round trips (departure 5 AM, return 7 PM). Fixed same-day round-trip fare ₹4,200 sedan with 3 hours of waiting at temple included — everything covered: tolls, driver bhatta, fuel, AC, GST.
The route takes NH160 from Shirdi through Ahmednagar, joins the Pune highway near Karjat, then Saswad Road (SH70) via Morgaon to reach Jejuri. Total 200 km with two toll plazas — all included.
The last 25 km from Saswad to Jejuri is a scenic ghat road through the Purandar hills — a peaceful mountain approach to the hilltop temple. From the base parking, the temple requires either a 300-step climb or a ₹100 return ropeway ride.
