Meher Baba's Samadhi (Tomb). Known for many years simply as the "Dome," this small stone structure contains Meher Baba's physical form. It began as a small hut erected over a pit where Baba spent a number of months in seclusion. Later the stonework and dome were erected, and Helen Dahm of Switzerland painted the colorful murals which adorn the walls on the inside of the Tomb.

The Tomb is open for darshan from 7:00 am until 7:45 pm. Those who wish to help clean it may come at 6:30 am. Meher Baba's prayers are recited and His artis sung each day at 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. Visitors are asked to maintain silence in and around the Tomb.

Mehera's Shrine. Baba's beloved Mehera passed away in May, 1989. In accordance with Avatar Meher Baba's directive, Mehera's final resting place is by His side, adjacent to His Samadhi.

Mani's Shrine. Baba's sister Mani passed away in August, 1996. In accordance with Avatar Meher Baba's directive, Mani's final resting place is by His side, adjacent to His Samadhi.

Baba's Room. This tin and wooden building is the place where Meher Baba's body lay on January 31, 1969, before being placed in His Tomb.The English stretcher used to transport Baba's body still rests there. This cabin was built in 1935 by Padri, one of Meher Baba's close disciples. The contrast between the sturdy stone foundation and tin walls is explained by the fact that Baba originally gave Padri several months to erect the building. Then when it was only partly done, Baba ordered it finished in a week, and started using it for His work.

Meher Retreat. Originally a stone water tank used by the British in World War I, this building has served a number of uses throughout the years. In the early days Meher Baba spent time here in seclusion. Later doors and windows were added and the Prem Ashram boys slept inside. When an upper story and tower were added in 1938, it housed many of the Eastern and Western women disciples who lived in Meher Baba's ashram.

Today the building is used as a museum, study hall, and library. In the museum are many things connected with Meher Baba's life and work. These include His bicycle, samples of His handwriting, and items of His clothing, including the famous patched Kamli coat. Also in the museum is the original oil painting of the "Ten Circles" chart which was painted by Rano Gayley under Baba's direction. The study hall, formerly the women's dormitory, has charts drawn under Meher Baba's direction and a number of maps of the blue bus tours. The Meherabad Hill library has books, pam-phlets, and periodicals by or about Meher Baba. Those staying at the Meher Pilgrim Centre may check books out from the open sections of this library.

Cage Room. The small building immediately behind the Tomb contains a room encaged with bamboo bars. Here Meher Baba stayed in seclusion and did His work with certain masts (God-intoxicated souls), including the fiery Karim Baba.

These include Mehera's mother, Nadine Tolstoy, Nonny Gayley, Mildred Kyle, Norina Matchabelli, Elizabeth Patterson, Adi's mother Gulmai, Naja Irani, Rano Gayley, Margaret Craske and Kitty Davy. Nearby are the graves of a number of pets - Chum, Foundy, Kippy, Cracker, Warrior, and the peacock Moti.

Dhuni. A stone platform near the main road that contains a pit for a fire that was first lit on November 10, 1925, when some local villagers approached Meher Baba about a severe drought that threatened their crops.Baba told them to return home and ordered His mandali to build a dhuni. Within minutes of its lighting, rain began to fall. In later years, Meher Baba invited His followers to throw attachments, symbolized by sandalwood sticks, into the fire. By Meher Baba's order, the dhuni continues to be lit on the 12th of each month at sunset.

Mandali Hall. Meher Baba met daily with the men mandali in this room. Originally it was a garage and stable, but later brick walls, a roof, floor, and windows were added. Besides Baba's chair, the room also contains a number of photos and paintings.

Blue bus. This bus carried Meher Baba and His women disciples throughout India in the late 1930s through early 1940s. In 1949 its body was put on a brick foundation. After this, it served as a small cabin where Meher Baba spent forty days during the period known as the Great Seclusion. The bed inside is the one Meher Baba used from January 26 through January 31, 1969 (the day that He dropped His physical form).

New Life Caravan. This blue wooden caravan was used for a short time as a sleeping compartment by the women on the New Life. Today it is used as a resting room for visitors. The front window has been replaced by a stained-glass portrait of Meher Baba, created by Karin Kaye.

Seclusion Hill. This hill was formerly known as Lower Tembi Hill. At one time two cabins stood on its peak for Meher Baba's work in seclusion, but today only traces of their foundations remain. The top of the hill belongs to the Trust, but the slopes are public property. The path to the top was blazed by Dr. Donkin, and Meher Baba Himself led groups of followers to the top.

Meherazad Gardens. A tribute to Mehera's loving care, beautiful flowers flourish in the gardens surrounding Meherazad, despite chronic water shortages. Every day Baba would pass the gardens as He went from His room to Mandali Hall and back again. Many of the films taken of Baba in the later years were filmed here.
