Day trip to Nilkanth Dham Poicha and Sardar sarovar dam from Bharuch
We started at 9am and covered below 5 places -
(1) Hanuman Dada Temple (Shri Gumandev Temple), Gumandev, Bharuch (Average time spent - 20mins):
This is an ancient place of worship, dedicated to lord Hanuman, attracting people from different parts of the country. Also there are statues of Lord Ram, Sita and Lakshman inside. There is a Shiv temple also nearby. The Mandir has pleasant and peaceful environment. Temple has been recently renovated.
This place is believed to have an historical story from the time of Mahabharata. Everyone knows that Bheem was one of the most strongest person of that time and somehow he became arrogant about the fact. So inorder to end his arrogance Lord Krishna sent Hanuman ji. The incident when Hanumaan ended the arrogance of bheem took place here.
