rediff.com: Hope & Succour: Gujarat, a month after the earthquake

March 8, 2001

Bhagwatchand Das and Narayan Swami, along with 150 sadhus, lived in the Swaminarayan temple in Old Bhuj. A parikrama was being performed when the quake struck and four (including two sadhvis) were killed. Now, only the wooden structure of the temple remains. Deities have been moved to another temple, so have the sadhus.
