Santram Mandir, Hindu temple in Nadiad, India

Santram Mandir is a Hindu temple in Nadiad, Gujarat, rising in three pale stone or plaster tiers, each narrower than the one below, with deep red bands at every floor level and red roof edges. Pointed scalloped arches on columns frame sheltered balconies with cusped arches and small jharokha windows, and a red-trimmed pavilion tops the structure. The ground floor has three arched openings hung with woven blinds, and a banner in Gujarati script hangs below the top storey.

The temple was established by Santram Maharaj, who relocated from Girnar to Nadiad and spent fifteen years serving the community. His work led to recognition as a revered Avadhoot saint.

No images of deities are installed here; the shrine holds the samadhi of the Avadhoot saint Santram Maharaj and an akhand jyot said to have appeared at his burial. Each year on Maha Sud Punam, the day of his samadhi, a large fair fills the temple courtyard. On Posh Punam, devotees throw bor fruit as an offering for children who are late to speak.

The temple has no images of deities; the object of darshan is the akhand jyot, an ever-burning flame said to have appeared at the samadhi of the Avadhoot saint Santram Maharaj. Fasting days in his honour are Thursdays, Purnima and Ekadashi. The site lies in Nadiad, Gujarat, and the trust also runs a physiotherapy centre and an eye clinic.

No images of deities are installed here; instead, visitors see an unbroken flame said to have appeared at the samadhi of the Avadhoot saint Santram Maharaj. The temple is his samadhi site, and the trust also runs schools, a gurukul and hostels alongside its clinics.
