Ranip is now a suburb of Ahmedabad. Until the late 1960’s it was a separate village, but with the rapid development of Ahmedabad as a ‘Mega’ City, and substantial investment by different national and international companies, Ranip forms a part of Ahmedabad. In the past decade, Ranip has expanded further and joined with the nearby Kaligam village, which is now called New Ranip.

Accepting the prayers of the devout disciples of Ranip, and due to their dedication and humble and truly admirable services offered at the time of major celebrations of Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan, Acharya Swamishree Maharaj opened a magnificent new Mandir in 2015.

Three year have passed since that grand occasion. To mark three years since its opening, Acharya Swamishree Maharaj arrived in Ranip during the afternoon of 29 March 2018. The road leading to the Mandir has been renamed Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Marg. Its official naming ceremony was performed by Acharya Swamishree Maharaj in the presence of local dignitaries.

On Friday 30 March, Acharya Swamishree Maharaj performed the patotsav ceremony of the Lord presiding in Ranip Mandir.
