REGARDING LODGING ARRANGEMENTS

Every year, around 18,000 pilgrims from India are accommodated in the various facilities at Lower Meherabad, New Site and Pilgrim Education Site. Now that the pandemic has subsided, we expect many more pilgrims to participate. To know the additional numbers and make arrangements for their stay, we request Baba lovers to positively send their request for accommodation by 7th January 2024.

1) Pilgrims who wish to be accommodated at Meherabad must send an amount of Rs. 50/- per person for lodging arrangements, directly to the Trust. Children above 7 years will be charged for lodging, while those below 7 years will be accommodated free. Such amounts are called “AMARTITHI DONATIONS”, and they must be sent directly to the Trust.

2) Amartithi Registration donations can be sent using any of the following methods :

a) Online through the AMBPPCT app: The app can be downloaded from Google Playstore or accessed via browser using https://meherbabaapp.com

Open the app, navigate to ‘Amartithi 2024 Donations’ and login using your Google Account. Payment can be made using UPI or your Credit/Debit card. On completing the registration process, you will receive a text confirmation and token number on your registered mobile number. You will also be able to print a soft copy of the donation receipt. On arrival at Meherabad for Amartithi, you can show this text message or a printed soft copy to get Amartithi Entry Tokens. It will be possible to change the number of Men and Women in the group through this app up to 7th January 2024.

Online payment will be accepted only up to 7th January 2024.

For any issue related to online payment, please send an SMS or WhatsApp message to 9000001527.

• A copy of the vaccination certificate and a copy of the Aadhaar Card or any other photo-identity card showing date of birth should be attached to the reservation request.
• Masks are required in both indoor and outdoor common spaces of the buildings.
• Because of the pandemic, pilgrims need to be below 65 years and above 10 years of age at the time of applying and arriving for their stay.
