Inauguration at Mithi Talai, Dahej — 5 May 2023
Guided by the profound spiritual vision of Param Pujya Swami Girishnand Saraswati Ji.
Maa Revashree Charitable Trust is a registered charitable organisation based in Bharuch, Gujarat, established on 22 April 2023 and formally inaugurated on 5 May 2023 at Mithi Talai, Dahej, in the presence of trustees, devotees, and well-wishers from the region.
The Trust works in close coordination with the Government of Gujarat, the Gujarat Pavitra Yatradham Vikas Board, and the local administration to serve pilgrims of the Maa Narmada Parikrama and preserve the sanctity of the sacred river.
To provide support, care, and essential services to devotees undertaking the sacred Maa Narmada Parikrama.
To promote and undertake activities that preserve the cleanliness and sanctity of Maa Narmada.
To promote and popularise the sacred Maa Narmada Parikrama among devotees across India.
Through the dedicated efforts of Swami Shri Girishanandji, the Government of Gujarat constructed a jetty at Mithi Talai for safer river crossings — now joined by a Rest House, Annakshetra (free community kitchen), and sanitation facilities for pilgrims.
New jetty with life jackets and modernised boating for safe river crossings.
Footbridge across Bhukhi Khadi, route signboards, and free ambulance & medical aid.
STPs in Bharuch District to help maintain the cleanliness of Maa Narmada.
1,500 trees planted in the July 2024 Go-Green Earth Drive — an annual commitment along Maa Narmada's banks.
Translating the devotional film 'Reva' into Hindi for broadcast across five states, spreading the glory of Maa Narmada.
Most pilgrims travel from Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra to undertake this circumambulation of more than 3,000 km. They carry minimal weight and have few facilities along the route — a gap our Trust works to bridge.
A detailed survey report on facilities required for Parikramavasi — covering the stretch from Rajpardi to Mithi Talai (Dahej) and all tirth kshetras and ashrams en route — was submitted to the Gujarat Pavitra Yatra Vikas Board.

A comprehensive survey identified sewage drains and outlets discharging directly into the River Narmada. The report was submitted to the Government of Gujarat and the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB).
Achievement: An investigation has been initiated, with further action currently in progress.
To enable safe movement for Parikrama pilgrims and local villagers, the Trust proposed a causeway over the Bhukhi River to the Gujarat Pavitra Yatradham Vikas Board and the Roads & Buildings Department.
Achievement: The proposal was accepted, and the Government of Gujarat has initiated the survey process.
The Trust proposed two bridges — Rengan to Rampura, and Shehrav to Tilakwada Ghat — improving connectivity for Uttarvahini Parikrama pilgrims and reducing travel for villagers, students, and farmers from 32 km to just 2 km.
Achievement: The Government of Gujarat approved ₹304 crore for the construction of both bridges.
Representations were submitted to the Ministry of Education (Gujarat and Government of India), requesting inclusion of Sanatan Dharma, Hindu scriptures, and pilgrimage sites in the school curriculum.
Achievement: The Ministry of Education, Government of Gujarat, acknowledged the proposal and responded positively.
Under the guidance of the Gujarat Pavitra Yatradham Vikas Board, the Trust surveyed 25 of the 147 identified pilgrimage sites and temples along the southern bank of Bharuch district.
Achievement: Essential facilities — toilets, bathrooms, and paved walkways — were provided at Vishva Mangal Ashram, Vadodara village.
Of the 3,500 km Maa Narmada Parikrama route, Gujarat is privileged to host only about 200 km.
We invite one and all to come together in service of the pilgrims who walk this sacred and blessed stretch.
