Shegaon Free Bus Service: Railway Station to Temple – Route & Timings
Quick Answer: The Shegaon free bus service runs 24×7 from the main exit of Shegaon Railway Station to Bhakta Niwas 5 & 6, about 1.5 km away. From there, it is a 2–3 minute walk to the temple gate. Between 5:00 AM and 10:00 PM, a bus comes every 10–30 minutes.
Most devotees arriving by train at Shri Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan in Shegaon, Dist. Buldhana, Maharashtra, ask the same thing at the exit: how do I get to the temple? The free Sansthan bus is the simple answer. It stops beside Shri Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan Bhakta Niwas. For the train journey itself, see our guide to reaching Shegaon by train.

Luggage, Autos and Staying Near the Drop Point
There is no published luggage limit, but the minibus has little room for big bags.
- Several large suitcases: Take an auto and agree on the fare first, since fare figures online are outdated. See our trusted local help guide.
- After check-in: Use the Bhakt Niwas locker and luggage storage.
- Elderly devotees: Read our senior citizen travel tips.
- Booking your room: Every devotee needs a government photo ID. Book through the Bhakt Niwas booking page or WhatsApp (+91 90311 67563). Official channels only — no agents, no third-party confirmations.
If you have several large suitcases, skip the bus and agree on the auto fare before loading.
