Shri.Bharat Natwar Vispute is the official of Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust.He is a well known Rangoli Artist and Sai Bhajan Singer.

He was born on 27th February 1973 at Shirdi, Rahata Taluk, Ahmed Nagar District, Maharashtra to Shri.Natwar C Vispute and Smt.Pushpa Natwar Vispute.

He has completed Bachelor of Arts degree from Pune University  and is serving as a Clerk in the Water Supply Department of Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust (Shirdi). 

He has been instrumental in drawing the Rangoli in front of Chavadi for the World famous “CHAVADI PROCESSION” held every Thursday and during various Festive Occasions observed by Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi. He has been doing this wonderful Selfless Sai Seva since the year 1990.

At 9:15 PM the Chavadi Procession starts from the Samadhi Mandir and goes to Dwarakamai and then to Chavadi. The procession reaches Chavadi around 9:35 PM. On the arrival of the Palanquin from the Dwarakamai to Chavadi, it is placed on Baba’s cot, which is kept in front of the Chavadi. On this cot Shri Sai Baba's body was kept for 3 days after he attained Mahasamadhi on 15th October 1918. This was followed till the year 2006-2007. But after Shri Sai Baba Sansthan started the Museum in the erstwhile Dikshit Wada, they decided to keep all the original articles used/related to Shri Sai Baba in Museum with a view to preserve them for a longer period of time. Hence, the original cot was kept in the ground floor of the Museum and sealed with a glass cabinet. Now the Sansthan uses a replica of the cot on which Shri Sai Baba's Palanquin is kept.

Shri.Bharat Natwar Vispute came to Sai Baba fold since his childhood due to the influence of his parents who are residents of Shirdi. On every Thursday, after the evening Dhoop Aarti the place in front of Chavadi is thoroughly washed and a big and beautiful Rangoli will be put by a Shri.Bharat Natwar Vispute around 8 PM. During Festivals like Sri Ramanavami, Guru Poornima, Gokulashtami, Vijayadashmi, Shri.Bharat Natwar Vispute draws Rangoli both near Chavadi and near Gurusthan Temple. On Festival days, he starts drawing the Rangoli around 9 PM. He takes approximately 1 hour to complete this task. He is doing this selfless Sai Seva since the year 1990. When the Palanqin procession comes near Chavadi, The cot and the Palanquin would be placed on the Rangoli with due respect. After the Chavadi Aarti when the Palanquin and the cot is removed, all the devotees rush towards the Rangoli drawn area and apply the Rangoli on their body thinking that the Rangoli powder is sanctified by Baba since HE sat on that and that by applying the Rangoli powder on their bodies, they will be purified. Hence, Shri.Bharat Natwar Vispute personally feels that he is indeed blessed to perform this Seva of Shri Sai Baba.

Shri.Bharatji is married to Smt.Punam Bharat Vispute and is blessed with one Son Shri.Vedanth Bharat Vispute and one daughter Kum.Pavitra Bharat Vispute. At present he is leading a happy and peaceful life in Shirdi.
