Swaminarayan Temple Muli

Located centrally off State Highway 21 (Rajkot Highway) within the village limits, this temple is a significant spiritual destination for devotees of Lord Vishnu and the Swaminarayan tradition.

The temple is recognized as a living heritage temple, constructed during the British colonial era under the inspiration and guidance of Lord Swaminarayan through Brahmanand Swami, with the patronage of Thakore Saheb Ramasinhji of Muli.

The temple enshrines Lord Vishnu as the primary deity, with sanctums dedicated to Radha, Harikrishna Maharaj, Ranchhodji-Trikamji, Dharmadev, Bhaktimata, Shankar-Parvati, Hanumanji, and Ganpati.

The temple’s poojas and rituals are conducted in Sanskrit and Gujarati, reflecting the region’s rich devotional traditions. Daily worship includes a series of aartis: Mangla Aarti at 5:30 AM, Shangar Aarti at 8:05 AM, Rajbhog Aarti at 10:30 AM, Sandhya Aarti at 6:15 PM, and Shayan Aarti at 8:00 PM.

The temple is open for darshan from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM and again from 3:00 PM to 8:30 PM, with free darshan entry for all visitors.

Swaminarayan Temple Muli is especially vibrant during festivals such as Vasant Panchami (Rangotsav), Shikshapatri Jayanti, Shakotsav, Ram Navami & Swaminarayan Jayanti, Hindola Utsav (Swing Festival), Janmashtami, and Diwali with Annakut, drawing devotees from across Gujarat and beyond.

Standard devotional prasad is distributed after aartis and major celebrations, and annadanam or community food services are offered to pilgrims, particularly during major festivals.

Sleeveless, tight, transparent, or short western wear is not permitted. The temple complex provides dedicated open vehicle parking and is accessible with wheelchair-friendly entry and exit ramps.
