Maharaj, an impressive structure called the Bhakti
Dam is under construction on the exact birth site of
Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, so it is also
called the janmsthan smarak.
Presently under construction in Bhakti Dam in Mangarh, the

from across the globe for devotion, spiritual guidance, and
inspiration. Featuring an expansive, two-story design, the
temple of Bhakti Mandir will be unique in myriad ways.
Every column and beam will be crafted from granite of the
highest quality. The colorfully lighted Central dome will
feature intricately carved white Makrana marble of most
rare brilliance. The roof of the adjoining wings will be
entirely of pink granite, adorned with golden engravings.
