00:00I am Malini Doshi from Ahmedabad, I am an architect and I have been associated with Swamiji for

00:17about 30 years.

00:19Swamiji, there is a very nice Bhavya Pandal here and it is said to be the biggest one in Kumbh Mela.

00:25How much time did it take to build it, how was it built and because it looks like a temple,

00:32how was it built?

00:35Our camps are always inspired by the architecture of different states.

00:40This time we have taken inspiration from the architecture of Gujarat.

00:43The main temple that we have built, the Bhavya Mandir, you will be able to relate all the elements

00:49that you see in the temples of Somnath and Dwarka.

00:52We do a lot of research and study it in detail and then we make these drawings on the basis

00:58of which all this happens.

01:00How much time did it take to build it?

01:03The whole camp was built in about 35 days.

01:07It is said to be the biggest one in Kumbh Mela.

01:10How do you see it?

01:12You are an architect yourself.

01:14What can you say about it?

01:16I have not seen many other camps, but I have always heard that this is one of the biggest

01:21camps.

01:22We believe that there are some powers that are associated with us.

01:27As an architect, I know that it is not possible that such a big work can be done in such a

01:32short time.

01:33There are definitely some powers that help us.

01:36It was built in 35 days.

01:38Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath came here today.

01:41He praised the entire Prangam.

01:43He was very much impressed.

01:45Thank you so much.

01:48He came here.

01:49Our Pandal's situation also improved.

01:51I hope he will come again.

01:53He will spend more time here.

02:04How much land is there in this camp?

02:07Our land is about 22 acres.

02:10The actual constructed area is 4.5 lakh square feet.

02:15In fact, it will be more than 4.5 lakh square feet.

02:19We arrange all the underground water supply and drainage.

02:24So that the whole camp stays clean for 40-45 days.

02:30You can see the rest.

02:33What is the design of the walls?

02:37If you study any piece of this and try to find it in the architecture of Gujarat, you will find it.

02:46We have picked every carving from the temple architecture and palace architecture of Gujarat.

02:55We have taken the theme of Gujarat this time.

02:58Before that, we took the theme of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

03:00So, every time we take the theme of a different state.

03:02Many things have been made in this Prangam.

03:05What are the special things that have been made in this Prangam?

03:10Like medicine, food, prasadam.

03:13Our main area has a 20-bed hospital that runs 24 hours.

03:20It is a free hospital.

03:23It is open to everyone who comes to the fair.

03:26We have a bhandara where free food is given.

03:29Whoever comes, everyone is welcome there.

03:32You have already seen our temple, Shri Mandiram.

03:35There is a big ritual going on behind it.

03:38About 181 Acharyas are worshipping there.

03:43This is called the Datta Sadan.

03:48Maharaj Ji and other VIP guests come here.

03:52Many CMs, Governors and many people come here.

03:55So, there is an arrangement for everyone to stay here.
