Development Stages

Over the centuries, the temple witnessed periods of decline and revival, mirroring the ebb and flow of time, turning it into a site of great antiquity, with its origins tracing back to the 12th century as verified by the Archaeological Survey of India.

A significant reconstruction took place around 350 years ago, when the devoted local community, moved by collective faith and devotion, came together to restore the sanctity of the site. They erected a modest shrine and a mandapa, ensuring that the worship of the Lord could continue unbroken. As time unfolded, a temple trust was formally established, entrusted with the sacred duty of preserving and nurturing the spiritual and physical integrity of this hallowed complex.

A pivotal chapter in the temple’s sacred journey only unfolded in the year 2001, when Shri Nimesh Chandra Vashi — a son of Amalsad and now a distinguished environmental pioneer —undertook the noble mission of redeveloping the entire temple complex. This act of devotion was offered in loving memory of his late father, Shri Vasanji Vashi, a devout and lifelong worshipper of Shri Andheshwar Mahadev.

In a gesture that united his father’s spiritual legacy and his own heartfelt reverence, his vision and generosity gave rise to Shri Vasanji Vashi Andheshwar Mahadev Sankul where a new temple structure was constructed, and modern amenities were thoughtfully integrated, that would not only honour the past but also serve the present and future generations of seekers and devotees.

"The foundation of the Andheshwar Mahadev Temple Complex is deeply rooted in spirituality, knowledge, and environmental consciousness."

The sacred vision for the transformation of Shri Andheshwar Mahadev Temple began to manifest in the year 2001, through the generous contributions of Dr. Nimesh Vashi, Dr. Anand Vashi, their family Trust, and Enviro Control Pvt. Ltd., Surat. Since then, over nearly a quarter of a century, the Vashi family has remained steadfast in their commitment to the temple’s growth—ensuring continual development and the addition of spiritually enriching spaces that inspire and uplift the countless pilgrims and seekers who journey to this divine abode.

This ongoing transformation has been lovingly supported by the Shri Andheshwar Mahadev Trust and its dedicated members. Among the most recent and notable additions, inaugurated on the auspicious day of 13th April 2025, are the magnificently crafted Dwadash Jyotirling, the serene Shiv Brahmand Upvan, the devotional Ram Kutir and Sai Kutir, along with a newly built Swagat Kaksh (Reception) and a pilgrim-friendly restaurant—all designed to deepen the spiritual experience and offer greater comfort to devotees.
