Chhappiya Heritage
Living Tirtha

The Sacred Birthplace of Lord Swaminarayan

For millions of followers across the world, Chhappiya is not just a village – it is a living tirtha (pilgrimage site), radiating divine energy and spiritual bliss. Located in the Gonda district of Uttar Pradesh, it is the holy land where Lord Swaminarayan incarnated on Earth.

Every lane, pond, and temple here holds the memory of the Lord’s childhood pastimes, making Chhappiya a destination of deep faith and eternal inspiration.

Divine Mission

It symbolizes the beginning of a divine mission that spread across India and later the world, guiding millions on the path of dharma, seva (service), and bhakti (devotion).

Why Chhappiya Matters

Chhappiya is not just remembered as the birthplace of Lord Swaminarayan – it is a beacon of eternal devotion. For followers, a pilgrimage to Chhappiya is as sacred as visiting Ayodhya, Mathura, or Dwarka. It is the land where divinity took human form, and where the story of Swaminarayan’s divine journey began.
