The five-day festival, from the 2nd to the 6th of February 2003, marked the silver jubilee of when Jeevanpran Swamibapa installed the divine Murtis of Shree Ghanshyam Maharaj, Jeevanpran Bapashree and Jeevanpran Swamibapa in Vadodara Temple in 1977. On each day of the festival, Acharya Swamishree bestowed His divine darshan and showered blessings to all. Acharya Swamishree also explained the importance of Vadodara in the history of the Swaminarayan Sampraday, because it was Sadguru Shree Gopalanand Swamibapa who lived in this affluent city and explained the glory of the Lord to all. Due to his sublime teachings, even the king of Vadodara became a disciple of Lord Swaminarayan.
As a finale to the festival, the Vasant festival was celebrated in the traditional manner at the banks of the Narmada River.
