About

It began with a simple act of faith at Shamalaji Mandir. In the early days, the first Annaksetra operated from the small lanes of Suthar Vadi, where the aroma of freshly cooked meals carried prayers instead of profits. Among those who witnessed the quiet power of service was Bhogikaka, a humble devotee with a big heart. Moved by the sight of the hungry being fed, he approached Mori Thakor Saheb with a simple yet divine request:
“Let there be a place where food is served as devotion, not charity.”
In response, Mori Thakor Saheb did something extraordinary. He donated six acres of land, transferring the ownership for just one rupee, ensuring that Seva would have a permanent home. Years later, the Brahmin community of Tindoi came forward, using the savings from their Katha Seva to rebuild the Annaksetra. Together, they constructed seven rooms and restored the sacred space, transforming it into a center of compassion and nourishment. Today, their legacy lives on. Every afternoon, two hundred to two hundred fifty people share a warm, pure meal prepared with devotion. Each plate served is more than food; it is a prayer in motion, a symbol of love, unity, and faith.
