This mandir is also known as "Bagdana wada bapa"

The village is a major pilgrim place for the followers of Hindu saint, Bajrangdas Bapa.[2][3] Initially there was a hut dedicated to him which is now expanded into an Ashram. There are three major melas (fairs) organized here annually, on death anniversary of Bajrandas Bapa, Bhadrapad Amavasya and Guru Purnima.[4] There is a kund (well) in Bagdana called the Gangajalia Kund at the ancient temple of Shiva known as Bagadeshwar Mahadev. The kund is actually a formation by three rivers namely Bagad, Hadamtaalu and Saraswati. The Saraswati is said to be sourced underneath the Self evolved(Swaymbhu) Linga out of two lingas inside the temple. On the festival of Balev(Rakhi Bandhan), Brahmins of Bagdana and around gather at this ancient Bagadeshwar Mahadeva temple for the ritual of Transformation(Shuddhikaran) of Sacred thread(Yajno Pavita) and take the holy bath in Gangajalia Kund praying for the societal welfare. The Bagad river which is the main waterbody flows past Datha, rises in the jungles of Dareda, Ghebar near Bagdana and ends in Gopnath.[1] All these places - the village itself, the rivers and sangam, the Bagdeshwar temple, Bapa's hermitage and ashram - are considered sacred by the followers of Bapa Bajrangdas Bapa, also known as Bapa Sitaram is the very soul of Saurashtra. Though He has left His earthly body, He still lives on in the hearts of millions of devotees. Bajrangdas Bapa was born in Adhewada, near Bhavnagar, and achieved total spirituality at a very early age. He spent some years visiting different places including Ayodhya, Surat, Palitana, and the Nashik Kumbh Mela. He came to Bagdana in 1941 and began living in a small Madhuli. In 1951 He built the ashram, which developed over the years. Different Shrines in the complex Besides the main temple of Hanuman Ji and Ganesh Ji, Bajrangdas Bapa Ashram has several smaller shrines within its complex. Here, we can see Bapa’s Samadhi Mandir, Kaal Bhairav Statue, Bapa’s Dhyan Mandir, Ram-Janki-Lakshman-Hanuman Mandir, Annapurna Devi Mandir, and more.

Bapa Sitaram. This temple is one of the oldest temples. Every day number of pilgrims come here. Here free food is served to everyone.

Great temple also they’ll provide prasadi(lunch and dinner) and tea everyday for devotees without any kind of money also you can’t come back without spending 2/3 hours because the place was very beautiful, once you should definitely go there for great experience ?

The more I write for Bapa, the less it is. Bapa Fulfills our every wish. And the sevadar here who spend all their time in the service of the devotees of Bapa. I am from Rajasthan but we definitely come to this temple once in a year. Right now the work of roads is going on but in the coming time this journey will become more perfect.Here the timing of aarti is after 6.30 in the evening and 5 in the morning. I am also adding the bus chart of the arrival and departure so you must see the time.
