Grand Opening of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir, Ranip

Ranip is now a suburb of Ahmedabad. Until the late 1960 it was a separate village, but with the rapid development of Ahmedabad as a 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. For many years, the devout disciples of Ranip had gathered together in each other homes on celebration days for worship and prayers. Their dedication and humble services offered at the time of major celebrations of Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan is truly admirable. However, it had always been a desire within them all that a Mandir would be built in their region so that they could worship the almighty Lord Shree Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa and please Acharya Swamishree Maharaj through their devotion.
