Bhuj Temples

Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Bhuj is a new temple complex in Bhuj. It is a Swaminarayan temple that comes under the Nar Narayan Dev Gadi of the Swaminarayan Sampraday. The opening ceremony of the temple took place between May 15 and May 23, 2010. An Earthquake on 26 January 2001 shattered most parts of the city of Bhuj (Kutch District), including the original Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Bhuj built by Bhagwan Swaminarayan in 1824. To replace this, the new temple is built of only marble and gold. The throne for the idol of Swaminarayan, the temple domes and doors are made of gold whiles the pillars and ceilings are made of marble.[1] The original central deity images of Nar Narayan and Swaminarayan in the form of Hari Krishna were moved from the old temple to the new one along with those of Radha Krishna, Swaminarayan in the form of Ghanshyam and Sukh Shaiya and others.
