Valsad Hosts Grand Shrimad Bhagwat Saptah to Fund Weddings for 111 Couples — Saints and Politicians Unite for Historic Social Cause

Valsad, Gujarat: A breathtaking wave of spiritual devotion and selfless service swept through Valsad as the grand Shrimad Bhagwat Saptah Gyan Yagna reached its emotional conclusion on Tuesday. Organized with the noble objective of supporting the upcoming “Sarva Gyati” (all-community) mass wedding of 111 couples in Gundlav, this week-long event has become a shining symbol of social unity. Thousands of devotees gathered at the sprawling grounds in Bhagdawada to witness the final day of the Katha, which has successfully raised massive support for the underprivileged families of South Gujarat.

On this Wednesday, January 14, 2026, as the city celebrates Makar Sankranti, the divine energy of the Bhagwat Saptah continues to resonate across the district. Spearheaded by the Shri Koli Patel Samaj Pragati Mandal and the Shri Chandramouliswar Mahadev Temple Trust, this initiative has proven that religious gatherings can be a powerful force for social change. The entire fund collected during this spiritual journey will be utilized to provide household essentials and wedding arrangements for the 111 couples set to tie the knot on February 21, 2026.

A Powerful Alliance: MLA Bharat Patel Leads Massive Social Welfare Mission

The entire mega-event was organized under the visionary leadership of Valsad MLA and President of Koli Samaj Pragati Mandal, Bharatbhai Patel. The Bhagwat Katha, narrated by the renowned spiritual orator Sharadbhai Vyas, was hosted at the massive grounds near the MLA’s residence in Bhagdawada. Day after day, the “Amritvani” of Sharadbhai Vyas drew thousands of listeners, turning the religious discourse into a movement for social harmony.

MLA Bharatbhai Patel emphasized that the primary goal of this spiritual yagna was to bridge social gaps and provide a dignified start to the lives of 111 young couples from various communities. By combining faith with philanthropy, the organizers have ensured that the grand wedding in Gundlav will be a historic milestone for the district.

Stalwarts Of Faith And Politics: Top Dignitaries Grace The Vyaspeeth

The Backbone of Charity: Leading Industrialists and Donors Step Forward

Behind The Scenes: The Unstoppable Team Of Koli Patel Samaj

The flawless management of this week-long spiritual marathon was the result of the tireless efforts of the Shri Koli Patel Samaj Pragati Mandal team. Led by Vice-President Shashibhai Patel, the executive committee worked day and night to handle logistics, security, and the massive “Mahaprasad” (community meal) served during the finale.

Key members including Secretary Rambhai, Joint Secretary Rohit Patel, Chandubhai Patel, Jigitsa Patel, Darshana Patel, and Minaben played crucial roles in managing the crowds and coordinating with the donors. Shashibhai Patel, who masterfully conducted the proceedings, expressed heartfelt gratitude to every donor, volunteer, and devotee who contributed to making this divine mission a reality.

Social Harmony In Action: A Model For Future Gujarat

The Valsad Bhagwat Saptah has set a gold standard for “Samajik Samrasata” (Social Harmony). By organizing a “Sarva Gyati” (inclusive of all castes) wedding through a religious platform, the organizers have sent a powerful message of unity. As the 111 couples prepare to take their sacred vows on February 21 at Gundlav, they will carry with them the collective blessings and spiritual energy of this grand Katha.
