Hello hive community.
I hope you are all having fun. Pramukhswami centenary festival was very divine whose divinity can be seen in these photographs. Today I am making another post on Pramukh Swami Shatabdi Mohotsav. Along with which I will also talk about Pramukh Swami Shatabdi Mohotsav. This festival was celebrated in the courtyard of Ahmedabad. This area is located between Oganaj and Lapkaman Chowkdi in Ahmedabad where this Pramukh Swami Shatabdi Mohotsav was celebrated. Ahmedabad can also be called the economic capital of Gujarat. In today's post we will only talk about Pramukh Swami Shatabdi Mohotsav.

The preparations for Pramukh Swami Shatabdi Mohotsav were going on for about one and a half years. I am mentioning the information about the place because on paper this preparation was going on for 4 years. The festival started from 15 December 2022 to 15 January 2023 for a month. About 600 acres of land was used to celebrate Pramukh Swami Shatabdi Mohotsav. You will be surprised to know that this land was given by the farmers to hold this festival. This land was leveled and made into a uniform structure and the huge Swaminarayan Nagar was built across it. 7 huge gates were built to enter this Swaminanarai town. The first photograph I put in this post is of gate 3.
Entering Swaminarayan Nagar, there were 5 big domes which had various motivational and social reform oriented programs. Those programs were depicted through films and plays. The entire operation of this program was done by saints and volunteers. I had read somewhere that 70000 to 80000 volunteers did their duty to complete this festival peacefully. These volunteers were none other than Swaminarayan Bhagwan's devotees who had selflessly laid aside their work for a month and lit this festival without any hope. Which represents the divinity of this festival.
The main attraction of this festival is the replica of Akshardham temple in Delhi. The photographs of which I have shared here. The vivid Delhi Akshardham temple has been created in this replica. The good thing is that this temple was built only for Pramukh Swami Shatabdi Mahotsav which lasted for a month. I have shared many photographs of the replica of this Akshardham temple with you here, so you can see the replica of the Akshardham temple and think that it is under temporary construction for a month. The replica of Akshardham temple is to be removed after the festival is over. A lot of painstaking work has been done to make a replica of this Akshardham temple which can be seen in the carvings of the temple.
During the night time this Swaminarayan Nagar lights up with lighting. Apart from that, a whole Balnagari was prepared which had various shows, films and dramas in Balnagari. In this children's town, the show was shown through all the performances and dramas related to the children getting a good education. This children's town was the main center of attraction for children. Along with this, laser shows were also held at night, the capacity of which was 15000 people who could sit and watch together.
The surprising thing was that more than 2 lakh people visited Swaminarayan Nagar during Saturday and Sunday. Excellent accommodation and food arrangements were also made for people coming from outside. Such a beautiful festival was held on the occasion of 100 years of Pramukhswami Maharaj. This post is for those who have not benefited from this festival.
Thank you for visiting my post.
