Senior devotees Gangarambhai jethi Sundarjibhai, Jigneshwarbhai and others from the Bhuj region of Kutch went to Gadhada where God Swaminarayan was attending a Fuldol festival.

[3] God Swaminarayan asked Vaishnavananand Swami to proceed with a team of the saints to Bhuj and construct a temple.

God Swaminarayan had graced this temple in the western belt of India and had himself installed the idols of Narnarayan dev and his own form - Harikrishna Maharaj was installed in central sanctum sanctorum of the temple by Acharya Ayodyaprashadji maharaj.

Akshar Bhavan in the temple treasures the personal items of Swaminarayan that He has used in His life.

The earthquake on 26 January 2001 destroyed much of the city of Bhuj, including this temple associated with the founder of the Swaminarayan Sampraday.
