History
Vaishnavananand Swami and the accompanying saints went to Bhuj in 1822 and drew up plans for the original Bhuj Temple. They executed the plans with every minute detail taken into account and within a short span of one year, on 15th May 1823, the Murti's were installed by Lord Shree Swaminarayan. Lord Shree Swaminarayan had graced this temple in the Western belt of India and had himself installed the idols of Narnarayan Dev on 15 May 1823 and later Acharya Shree Ayodhyaprasadji Maharaje installed Hari Krishna Maharaj in 1867. The earthquake in 2001 destroyed much of the city of Bhuj, including the side of the temple facing north which was built by Lord Shree Swaminarayan. Miraculously the divine idols remained as they were, without any damage.
