The late Kamalnayan Bajaj conceived the Gitai Mandir as a memorial to Gitai in honour of Vinobaji. The project had the approval of Vinobaji. The Bhoomi Pujan was done in the presence of Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan. And the construction work was taken up by Kamalnayan Bajaj Charitable Trust and completed in 1980.
The Mandir was inaugurated by Vinobaji on 7th October, 1980. The 50th anniversary of the commencement of the writing of Gitai.
The Gitai Mandir stands on 36 acres of land at the site of Jamnalalji's Samadhi in Gopuri, Wardha. A unique monument, it has no idol, sanctum sanctorum or even a roof. It is enclosed by granite slabs. Each slab has a shloka inscribed on it, covering all the 18 chapters of the Gitai.
Inside the Gitai Mandir complex, a building has a photographic exhibition on the life and thoughts of Vinobaji. AIso, a photographic exhibition on the life and times of Jamnalal Bajaj has been set up inside the Shanti Kutir. |
