Built by Maa Umiya Charitable trust, the temple spread over an area of 15 acres has been conceived and executed by city businessman Jivraj Patel and Maa Umiya Charitable Trust. The foundation stone was laid in 2002. After painstaking labour of 450 artisans and labourers, spread over 14 years, the temple along with its other features has finally opened to the public.The main temple is 101 feet in height and is built on a 200x100 feet platform. The red and pink stone, brought from Bharatpur in Rajasthan has been carved locally. Three gigantic glass chandeliers are mounted on ceilings of the three temple domes. Paintings depicting divine images adorn the walls.
However, the structure has run into controversies over relevant permission from NIT, fire department and Home ministry. It has been served a demolition notice by NIT, as reported by TOI earlier.
There are some 181 such temples across the country and six abroad. Goddess Umiya is worshipped by the Kutch Kadwa Patidar samaj of Gujarat. "The first such temple is 2000 years old and is located in Unjha in Gujarat," says Ganshayam Mehta, one of the organizers.
