BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir, Bhuj
Pratishtha Ceremony
30 June 2001
The consecration ceremony of the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in
Bhuj was postponed due to the devastating earthquake that struck
on 26 January, 2001. The mandir then became the nerve center
for BAPS relief activities.
Now, after five months,
the mandir was consecrated with Vedic rites at the behest of
Pramukh Swami Maharaj. The murtis of Akshar Purushottam Maharaj,
Radha Krishna Dev and Guru Parampara were installed by Pujya
Mahant Swami and Pujya Devcharan Swami. Annakut and arti were
performed by the senior sadhus.
