It was the wish of Jeevanpran Swamibapa to establish a supreme site for the worship of Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa in Delhi . In accordance with His command, a grand new Temple was built on the banks of the river Yamuna in 1978. Jeevanpran Swamibapa performed the Murti Pratishtha on Vijya Dashmi, 1978.
Precisely 25 years later, Acharya Swamishree celebrated the silver jubilee of the opening of the Temple . The four-day festival was held from the 2nd to the 5th of October 2003, and was attended by thousands of disciples from around the world. The Vice President of India, Shree Bhairav Shekhavat was present on the first day to officially commence the celebrations.
