Ahmednagar

Arrival Registration

When you arrive in Ahmednagar, you must first register at the Pilgrim Registration Office in the Avatar Meher Baba Trust compound, also known as the Meher Nazar compound.

The Registration Office assists Baba followers with police registration in Ahmednagar. It also reconfirms reservations for the Meher Pilgrim Centre.

Before beginning your stay at the Pilgrim Centre, you will need to register at this office, located off King's Road. Office hours for registration are 10:00 am to 6:00 pm daily for those with reservations. Otherwise, you will find the office closed Saturday and Sunday. Be sure to bring three passport-sized photographs with you.

Early or Late Arrival
If you arrive in Ahmednagar when the Pilgrim Registration Office is closed, you'll have to wait to register until the office is open. If you have made prior arrangements to stay at some place other than the Pilgrim Centre, and you are expected at that hour, just go directly there. Otherwise, at night or in the early morning, go to either the Amar or Sanket Hotel by rickshaw and take a room or wait until the Registration Office opens.

The Meher Pilgrim Centre is an accommodation facility provided by the Avatar Meher Baba Trust for people visiting Meherabad. This attractive and comfortable building accommodates fifty-six in rooms housing one to eight people. Men and women are housed separately. Initial bookings are made for up to two weeks. Space permitting, your stay may be extended. (During busy times, other pilgrim facilities at Meherabad are used for those whose M.P.C. stay cannot be extended.) Transportation to Meherazad is available several days a week. The Pilgrim Centre serves only vegetarian food; meat and fish cannot be stored or consumed on the premises. Illicit drugs and alcoholic beverages are also not allowed, and guests are expected to have given up illicit drug use entirely.

Please note:
Anyone with a child under seven years of age cannot be accommodated at Meherabad and will have to make arrangements to stay elsewhere in Ahmednagar.

Reservations for rooms should reach the office six weeks in advance of your expected arrival. This gives the staff time to respond in writing either confirming your reservation or advising you of alternative accommodations.
