Sai Prasadalaya is a large-scale community kitchen located in Shirdi, Maharashtra, India. Established in 2009 by the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, it serves free meals to thousands of devotees daily. The kitchen was created as a continuation of the food-sharing tradition associated with Sai Baba of Shirdi, who is known for feeding the poor and animals during his lifetime. Sai Prasadalaya is noted for being among the largest solar-powered community kitchens in india.[1]
Inrastructure
According to the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, the Shri Sai Prasadalaya spans approximately 11,550 square meters and includes large-scale dining facilities.[2] The kitchen reportedly serves free meals to over 20,000 devotees each day, with the number increasing to 60,000 during major religious festivals such as Ramnavami, New Year, Dussehra, and Guru Poornima.[3]
Dinning halls
The ground floor of Shri Sai Prasadalaya includes a dining hall with a seating capacity of approximately 3,500 people[4].Two additional dining halls are located on the first floor, each accommodating around 1,000 individuals. While meals served on the ground floor are free of cost, devotees are required to collect a free entry ticket from a designated counter. In the first-floor halls, meals are provided with seating arrangements including dining tables, and a nominal charge is applied.
Solar-Powered Cooking System
Shri Sai Prasadalaya utilizes a solar-powered cooking system that operates across four rooftops equipped with 73 solar concentrators[5]. These dishes focus sunlight onto receivers containing water, generating approximately 4,200 kilograms of steam per day. The steam is piped to the kitchen and used to prepare meals for thousands of devotees daily[6]. The Sai Prasadalaya, a community kitchen managed by the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust in Shirdi, was recognized by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, for housing the world’s largest solar steam-based cooking system.[7]
