Shree Jagannathji Mandir.

About 450 years ago this area where now stands SHREE JAGANNATHJI MANDIR CAMPUS was a thick forest beside the river SABARMATI in the East and the city limit ended at the Jamalpur Darwaja in the North. Sadhus normally seek places of solitude beside rivers away from the noise of cities. Thus an itinerant sadhu Shree HANUMANDASJI by name happened to visit Ahmedabad and found this jungle area suitable for his stay. Being a devotee of RAMBHAKT MARUTI he laid his deity's idol which is worshiped till this day. During his stay some miraculous happening altracted people from the neighbouring areas which has become the root cause to developed this place into a modest temple. His successor sadhu Shree SARANGDASJI happened to be a devotee of Lord Jagannath . He had an urge to pay a visit to the Jagannath Mandir at PURI (Orissa) and some local associates of his joined him in the pilgrimage. One night while he was sleeping at the Dharmshala of the Puri temple he had visionary instruction from Lord Jagannath to go back to Ahmedabad and install there the idols of the Holy Trinity Lord Jagannath with his elder brother Lord BALDEVJI and sister Goddess SUBHADRAJI. Thus the Maruti temple became Shree Jagannathji Mandir. A cowshed was built and since then began the GAU SEVA.
