Vadtal Temple Gujarat History

On the day of Nirjala Ekadashi, the devotees from Vadtal went to Shreeji Maharaj and pleaded Swaminarayan to construct a temple of Shri Krishna in the village. Shreeji Maharaj immediately commanded his disciple Brahmananda Swami to give a temporary pause to the construction of the Muli temple and work with his team of learned saints to plan the construction of a temple in Vadtal. The construction was proactively completed within 15 months and the installation ceremony was done by Lord Swaminarayan himself in the midst of Vedic hymns and prayers.
