Before Shree Swaminarayan returned to Akshardhaam he got constructed a temple in Bhuj-Kachchh by Sadguru Vaishnavanand Swami and established the idol-image of Shri Narnarayandev. This temple of Bhuj is 180 years old and so far not a single damage was caused to the temple. However, during the earthquake of 2001 there was some damage to the temple but not to the idol-images established by Shri Hari. Considering the prevailing condition renovation work of the temple has been started and it is on the verge of completion. On completion of the construction work re-invocation ceremony of the idols of Narnarayandev would be celebrated very soon.
