Following divine visions in a state of samadhi, Viramgiri Bapu unearthed idols of Lord Shiva (Valinath Mahadev), Goddess Chamunda, and Lord Ganesha, along with an eternal sacred fire (Akhand Dhuni), beneath a Rayan tree. ​The Guru Gadi Lineage: Viramgiri Bapu established the seat (Guru Gadi) of the Valinath Akhada. Over the centuries, 14 Mahants have maintained this tradition, with Jayramgiri Bapu currently presiding over the seat. ​Modern Reconstruction & Architecture ​Rebuilding Project: Groundbreaking for a grand new temple complex began in 2011 and was completed after 13 years of effort using traditional Maru-Gurjara (Nagara) architectural style. ​Pran Pratishtha (2024): The new temple was inaugurated in February 2024 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the presence of lakhs of devotees. ​Key Architectural Features: ​Built using Bansi Paharpur pink sandstone (over 1.45 lakh cubic feet of stone). ​Measures 101 feet high, 265 feet long, and 165 feet wide, making it one of the largest Shiva temples in Gujarat after Somnath. ​Features three main spires (shikharas): housing Valinath Mahadev in the central sanctum, alongside dedicated sanctums for Lord Dattatreya and Hinglaj Mata. ​Preserves the ancient 900-year-old Rayan tree and the Akhand Dhuni inside the temple precinct. #valinath #gujarat #Mahadev #ShivTemple #ValinathMahadev #TempleVlog #travel #vlog #gujarativlog #2026 #tranding #viral #shorts #sharch #video #videos
