Santram Mandir

The Santram Mandir is a Hindu temple in Nadiad with elaborately carved wooden pillars painted in colors. The main shrine houses statues of Lakshmi Narayan and Ranchod Rai.

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.

The temple hosts Gurubavani Satsang gatherings where spiritual teachers lead devotees through devotional songs from the Pad Sangraha holy text. These practices form the core of daily spiritual life that visitors can witness here.

The temple opens very early in the morning at 4:45 AM for the Tilak Darshan ceremony. On special days like Ekadashi and full moon, visiting hours extend to accommodate more worshippers.

The temple trust operates multiple health facilities in the community including an eye clinic and physiotherapy center. This work shows how religious institutions extend care beyond worship to support people's wellbeing.
