Consecrated by Shastriji Maharaj the founder of Bochasanwasi Akshar-Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, which was later abbreviated as BAPS. The Guajarati word Bochasanwasi implies hailing from Bochasan, since the organization’s first Mandir was in this village.

Shastriji Maharaj continued to consolidate and spread the Akshar-Purushottam teachings of the nascent BAPS and spent the majority of 1908-15 discoursing throughout Gujarat, while continuing construction work of mandirs in Bochasan and Sarangpur. Over the next four decades, Shastriji Maharaj completed four more shikharabaddha mandirs in Gujarat Sarangpur - 1916, Gondal - 1934, Atladra - 1945, and Gadadha - 1951.
