Grand Unveiling of the Book "Sonani Hatadi" by Hon’ble Chief Minister Showcasing Patidar Legacy

Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel unveiled the prestigious book “Sonani Hatadi” at Vishv Umiya Dham in Ahmedabad. This book chronicles the 750-year-old lineage of the royal Patdi Darbar and Desai families, highlighting the glorious heritage of the Patidar community. On this occasion, the Chief Minister honored the contributors who documented the history of the Patdi royal family and the Desai lineage.

More than 400 families originally from Patdi, including Shri Karnisinh Desai of the Patdi royal family, attended the event. The Chief Minister also visited the divine temple of Jagat Janani Maa Umiya and performed rituals, expressing his spiritual gratitude. Additionally, he inspected the construction progress of the world’s tallest temple dedicated to Maa Umiya at Vishv Umiya Dham.

During his address, Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel emphasized the power of unity. He said that when people work together in harmony, even the most significant tasks can be achieved with ease. He highlighted that collective strength is far more impactful than individual efforts. Referring to India’s freedom movement, he remarked that while the struggle began with non-cooperation, today’s era is about achieving prosperity through cooperation. A society that functions with mutual support, empathy, and trust will always continue to grow and progress.

President of Vishv Umiya Foundation, Shri R.P. Patel, noted that during the time of independence, the only princely state ruled by the Kadva Patidar community was in Patdi. Today, members of the community are involved in building everything from plows to helicopters. He added that temples are centers of energy and expressed gratitude to both the central and state governments for their consistent support at every stage of Vishv Umiyadham’s construction.
