Trimandir: This temple has been built based on the non-sectarian concept developed by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan to demonstrate that the essence of all religions is the same, to achieve self-realisation. The temple has idols of Lord Simandhar Swami, Lord Krishna (Vaishnavism), Lord Shiva (Shaivism) and other Gods and Goddesses, including the Tirthankars of Jainism. [2]
