Meherabad is an ashram and spiritual center established in 1923 by Meher Baba outside Arangaon village near Ahmednagar, India. Meherabad means "Meher flourishing." It is now the site of Meher Baba's samadhi (tomb-shrine) and facilities and accommodations for visitors. Meherabad is a popular place of pilgrimage for both eastern and western disciples of Meher Baba with reported numbers of around 30,000 pilgrims at Amartithi (the celebration of his passing, January 31). The Meher Pilgrim Center and Meher Pilgrim Retreat located there are open to the public. There is also a free dispensary and school. In later years Meher Baba established a separate residence named Meherazad located near Pimplagaon, which is on the other side of Ahmedagar, approximately 15 miles from Meherabad.
