The influx of people to the East African Coast was mainly due to the labour force required during the building of the railway. The pioneer members of the Limbachia Valand Samaj came to this country sometime between 1895 to 1900 AD. They came from Gujrat, Cutch Kathiawar and Surat Districts of India and were born in Hindu Nayee Community who are mainly followers of Limbach Maa of Patan Sidhpur near Ahmedabad,India. As more members of the community started settling in Kenya,they were able to form the Limbachia Gnati Mandal Nairobi, which was founded on 22nd November 1944.

The mandal drafted its first constitution under the guidance of it’s pioneer members on 28th January 1945. As the community members increased and progressed, it managed to acquire its own building in Nairobi in 1953, which was renovated and opened in 1975.After a lot of debate, it was decide to relocate from the city centre area.By the grace of Mataji, the present premises in Parklands, Mogotio Road,was acquired in year 2000. The Kumbh Pooja was held on 4th December 2000. Initially all the functions held on the grounds, took place in a tent.

The present building temple construction commenced in 2009 under the guidance of the Managing committee, Trustees, Community members, well wishers and donors, finally culminating in the Murti Pran Pratista Utsav from 10th to 14th April 2016.
