Ahmedabad, Dec 3 (LatestNewsX) – The city will stage a grand spiritual festivity on December 7, when the “Pramukh Varni Amrut Mahotsav” unfolds at the Riverfront Event Centre. The occasion celebrates the 104th year since Pramukh Swami Maharaj was born and marks 75 years since he became the President of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha. Attendees will include the BAPS spiritual head Mahant Swami Maharaj, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, and other prominent guests.
A specially curated cultural program will pay homage to Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s lifelong humanitarian efforts, followed by a distinctive river showcase. The Sabarmati will feature floating tableaux aligned with the festival’s theme, illustrating his life, principles, and global influence. The story of his ascent begins on 21 May 1950, when 28‑year‑old Shastri Narayanswarupdas was appointed lifelong President of BAPS at Ambli Vali Pol’s mandir, a title that soon became known as Pramukh Swami Maharaj. On that day, he pledged unwavering devotion to his guru and the organization, vowing selfless service for the spiritual and material well‑being of devotees.
Ambli Vali Pol remains a pivotal landmark in BAPS history, hosting the first Ahmedabad mandir (1940), the inaugural Gujarati magazine (1938), and key milestones that spurred the organization’s worldwide growth. Over the past year, thousands of devotees have visited the site to honor the 75‑year milestone of Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s appointment. The main celebration on December 7, from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm, will feature multimedia presentations, cultural performances, and tributes that echo his messages of peace, service, and compassion.
A highlight of the evening will be the themed river floats on the Sabarmati, creating a visual narrative of his life and philanthropic work. Preparations for this grand event have been underway for two months. More than 40,000 devotees are expected to attend, coordinated via a comprehensive bus arrangement. Dedicated parking areas and enhanced traffic support have been arranged along the Riverfront to ensure smooth access.
