Borsad's Sun Temple is famed for bestowing divine grace on visitors and curing ailments that cause people to be unhappy. As a result, people from all over the world go to the Sun Temple. Given the enormous number of pilgrims, the institution also provides meal and lodging facilities to all.

What is the history of the Mandir?

The history of this shrine could be better at best. It is supposed to have been built at the request of God himself. The story began when God came through the body of a five-month-old kid named Kalpesh. He was unable to communicate. 

In front of his parents, God appeared on the boy's flesh as a speck of kumkum, and then the trace vanished. His parents were in great surprise because this occurrence was difficult to believe. Following this, when the concept of the temple began to take shape, God was the one to inspire all of those who chose to labour for the temple in some capacity. 

The temple, built in 1972, later became a public trust in Nadidad in 1977. Another belief, Suryanarayan Sevashram Trust Fund Corporation, was created in the state of Illinois at Elk Grove village in the United States of America in 1996. Both are non-profit companies.
