Sakori or Sakuri is a small village in the Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra State, India, about five kilometers from Shirdi. Sakori is best known as the home of Hindu guru Upasni Maharaj, and of his ashram, Kanya Kumari Sthan. Upasni Maharaj (1870-1941) had lived for four years in nearby Shirdi as a disciple of Sai Baba, before starting his ashram in Sakori in July 1917. He continued to live in Sakori until his death in 1941.

The Zoroastrian master Meher Baba was initiated in Sakori during a seven year discipleship to Upasni Maharaj from 1915 to 1922.
