Architecture

This temple has been completely renovated in recent times. The highlight of the facelift includes the main door that will give a unique identity to Jagannath temple, a pedestrian walkway inclusive of the Sabarmati riverfront. During the period 1996-2000, the entire temple complex at Ahmedabad was renovated and the idols of the Holy Trinity were ritually laid on a special raised pedestral called “Ratna-Vedi“, with the idol of Garuda situated in front of the sacred altar, so that its attention is sighted at the feet of Lord Jagannath. On the Ratnavedi the Goddess Shreedevi and Bhudevi are laid. A marble statue of Mahamandaleshwar Mahant Shree Narsinhdasji is near the Garuda, facing the Holy Trinity. And next is the region of the “Gadi” with an uninterrupted “Dhooni” from where devotees collect the Bhasma and blessings of the Mahant Shree.

Religious Significance

Shree Jagannath Ji mandir campus, was a thick forest beside the river Sabarmati in the east and the city limit ended at the Jamalpur darwaja in the north. Sadhus normally seek places of solitude beside rivers away from the noise of cities. Thus an itinerant sadhu Shree Hanumandasji by name happened to visit Ahmedabad and found this jungle area suitable for his stay. Being a devotee of rambhakt Maruti, he laid his deity’s idol, which is worshiped to this day. During his stay some miraculous happening attracted people from the neighboring areas, which has become the root cause to developed this place into a modest temple. His successor sadhu Shree Sarangdasji happened to be a devotee of Lord Jagannath. He had an urge to pay a visit to the Jagannath mandir at puri (Orissa) and some local associates of his joined him in the pilgrimage. One night while he was sleeping at the Dharamshala of the puri temple, he had visionary instruction from lord Jagannath to go back to Ahmedabad and install there the idols of the holy trinity Lord Jagannath with his elder brother lord Baldev Ji and sister Goddess Subhadraji. Thus, the Maruti temple became Shree Jagannath Ji mandir.

History

Temple is believed to be 450 years old.
