From Garba Grounds to Sacred Foundations: How Canada’s Gujarati Community Is Building the Umiya Maa Temple

That beginning as the joy of a record-breaking Garba celebration and now transformed into something more deeper and more permanent. The same person that once filled the streets with music and devotion is now contributing to a sacred vision of construction of the Umiya Mataji Temple in Canada.

At the time when this movement stands Sagar Patel, lovingly known among devotees. His dedication has been the driving force behind turning a shared dream into an organized, collective mission. What makes this act truly special is that it’s longer the work of one individual, whereas its a responsibility of an entire community to come together.

Families have stepped up with heartfelt contributions, business owners have offered financial and logistical support, and young volunteers have invested their time, skills, and energy whole heartedly. Each contribution, big or small, carries the strong intention to build a spiritual and cultural home for their Gujarati people living far from roots.

Sagar Patel has a vision of, the Umiya Maa Temple as not only a place of worship but as a vibrant cultural hub. It intent to serve as a space where traditions, values, and identity can be passed on to the next generation where children who will grow up in Canada, but remain deeply connected to Gujarat with culture and faith.

With every brick that has been laid, the dream is growing stronger. The temple stands as a powerful reminder that distance is not the reason to weaken devotion. Wherever Gujaratis go, their culture travels with them Respectfully. This project is living proof that when faith and unity come together, they can build not just a structure, but a lasting powerfull legacy.
