In Buti Wada, Baba's mortal remains are interred.

When Baba came to Shirdi, he used to bring seeds of "Jendu and Jai' flowers and planted them in Lendi garden. Everyday, Vaman tatya used to give him two unbaked earthen pots. Sai used to carry the pots on his shoulders and water the plants. Thus by the great effort of Baba, a beautiful garden has grown in Lendi. In that garden, now stands Saibaba Samadhi Mandir, which was built by Sriman Buti, a multi millionaire from Nagpur. He was very much devoted to Baba. While staying in Shirdi, he got one novel idea, i.e., to construct a wada with a temple. When he was brooding over the idea, Shama who was sleeping nearby got a beautiful dream in which Baba appeared and directed to construct a Wada. Shri Buti also had a similar dream simultaneously. Hence a plan was drawn for construction of the building. When Baba's permission was sought, he gave his immediate approval. Thus the construction was commenced. Whenever Baba passes through the building site, he used to offer some suggestions. Thus the building was made nicely. It was decided to install a statue of "Murali Krishna" in the central place. When Baba was sought permission, he said OK. We will use the Wada, live and play there. But before executing the central portion, there was a sudden turn of events. Baba became ill . Buti was very much perplexed since he has spent lakhs of Rupees. If the building is not blessed with Baba's presence, his entire effort would become a waste. Before passing away, Baba has said, "Take Me to the Takadi wada, there i will become alright. Baba's mortal remains were finally interred in Buti's Wada.
