Shree Ghanshyam Maharaj

This Murti is that of Lord Shree Swaminarayan at a young age when He was affectionately called by the name of Ghanshyam. Whereas in the case of other Murtis, all offerings such as garments, garlands, food etc. can only be offered in the abstract form, the statue form of the Murti of Lord Shree Swaminarayan can be physically bathed, clothed, garlanded, decorated, offered food. Devotees prepare garments for Shree Ghanshyam Maharaj from decorative and colourful clothes. Jewellery is also offered to Him to be blessed, or given as presents. This is the first marble Murti of Shree Ghanshyam Maharaj, installed in a temple outside India.
