It is now the site of Meher Baba's samadhi (shrine/tomb) as well as facilities and accommodations for pilgrims. A large number of buildings mostly associated with the earlier decades of Baba’s work, the graves of disciples, and a range of pilgrim accommodation and charitable establishments are also there. Many Baba-lovers work or live in the vicinity.[1] Meherabad is a popular place of pilgrimage for both Eastern and Western followers of Meher Baba, with reported numbers of around 30,000 annual pilgrims at Amartithi (the commemoration of his death each January 31).[2] There is also a free dispensary and school. Established in May 1923, Meherabad was the first permanent residence of Meher Baba and his disciples in Ahmednagar district.[3] In 1944, Meher Baba moved his residence north to Meherazad, located {{convert|24|km|0}} away on the other side of Ahmedagar.[4] Meher Pilgrim Center (also spelled "Centre") is the central administrative facility for the Meher Baba pilgrim retreat.The Pilgrim Center and Pilgrim Retreat are closed during the hot Indian summer from 15 March to 15 June of each year.On 15 June 2006, new pilgrim facilities were established with the construction of Meher Pilgrim Retreat, an {{convert|88000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} facility.[5] Both the Pilgrim Center and Pilgrim Retreat were designed by architect Ted Judson.
