Valand Samaj Temple
Limbachia Gnati Mandal Nairobi • Founded 1944 • 20 Mogotio Road, Westlands
History of Valand Samaj Temple
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 Gujarat, Cutch Kathiawar and Surat Districts of India and were born in the 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.
