History
A refugee camp was located in the temple in 1948. The original images of Mr. Swaminarayan were taken and delivered to India after the partition. One murti that was originally in this temple is currently located in the village of Khan Village, Rajasthan . People who wanted to move to India came to this temple from all over the Sindh province and were waiting for the ship to be sent. The founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinn, came to visit the temple. In 1989, for the first time since the partition, a group of sadhus from Ahmedabad Sri Swaminarayan Mandir visited the eponymous temple in Karachi.
In April 2004, the temple celebrated 150 years since its foundation.
In addition to Hindus, Muslims and followers of Sikhism also visit the temple.
