Gujarat prides itself on having some of the best roads in the country, an important asset in India's rapid urbanisation. So when the new flyover, linking the new town with the old town was complete, a brand new traffic circle was constructed to mark the junction between old and new. It also links the very affluent part of the commercial district with the suburbs.
The temple structure, its figure within and the frieze of elephants round the base of the plinth, was under wraps for months, tantalisingly obscured from view. And then one day without much ceremony the coverings were removed. The beautiful white rotunda and dome of the little temple provide a tranquil space for the Holy Man within, who sits calmly contemplative, against his cushion, in the midst of the mayhem of this busy junction of traffic !
