Baba's Padukas were installed under the Neem tree.

Once, Govinda kamalakar Dixit, came to Shirdi. There was a discussion on Baba's first visit to Shirdi. It was revealed that Baba used to sit under a neem tree when he came to Shirdi initially. Hence Govinda Kamalakkar confided with other devotees that there should be some memorial indicating Baba's first visit. Hence Kaka Sahab Dixit, purchased the place around the neem tree to commemorate the first visit of Baba to Shirdi. It was decided to establish the foot prints engraved in a stone under the neem tree. At that time Govinda Kamalakkar has said, If his master comes to know of the plan, he will provide a much better 'foot imprints in some superior metal'. Hence, the plan was discussed with His master Kothari. He came to Shirdi and got a plan of the foot print and it was taken to Upasani Maharaj, who improvised with some figures and a sanskrit stanza indicating the greatness of the footprints. Accordingly the engraved foot prints were brought to Shirdi. Baba gave Rs.25/- for embedding the foot prints. It was carried on the head of BB Narke. Baba blessed the symbols saying that this is the foot prints of the Lord and it may be installed on Sravana Purnima day. Accordingly it was fixed on Sravana Purnima. A fence was added later. Those who light fragrance on Thursdays at the place will be blessed much. Saisaran, Sairam.
