Surat: Shree Ramkrishna Welfare Trust in Surat has decided to build 311 Hanumanji mandirs in tribal populated Dang district of South Gujarat, out of which 46 are already completed.

The founder chairman of Shree Ramkrishna Trust, Govind Dholakiya had pledged to build Hanumanji mandirs in 311 villages of Dang district after seeing a murti of Hanumanji in a broken state below a tree in Dang. While total 46 mandirs are dedicated already, the dedication ceremony of other 14 mandirs is arranged at Lahan Zaddar (Nani Zaddar) at Subir taluka in Dang on Sunday on 20th March from 10 am to 1 pm.

The dedication ceremony will take place in the leadership of Govind Dev Giri Maharaj (Koshadhyaksh of Ram Janmabhumi TeerthKshetra Trust).

As per the website of Shri Govind Dholkia: Govind Dholakia and revered Pujya P. P. Swamiji were travelling by car once in August 2017. Govind Dholakia saw a statue of Lord Hanuman standing below a tree under the open sky. He did not feel this right and told Swamiji that “Our God put up like this does not seem right according to our culture”. Swamiji replied, “Such is the situation in the entire Dang district. There is a lot to be done, but who will do it? and how much to be done” Govindkaka said that the Lord has blessed us with a lot, and he would like do as much help as possible as a gesture to thank God. “If l do everything then I will feel proud so I contribute 50% of the cost as a collaborator; so we would have built this temple with all of us donors contributing.” In 2017, the inauguration of the first 6 temples was completed by hands of revered Pujya Morari Bapu. On March 24, 2019, the inauguration of other temples was done by the graceful hands of Pujya P. Swamiji. Under this program, work is going on in various villages of Dang like Jankhna, Seenband, Dhoomkal, Kotmadar, Vanaar, Ghogali, Umaria, Ukhriya, Borigaavtha, Maharaichond,Muranbi.
