Alongside daily worship, Surya Mandir Borsad has long carried a spirit of seva (selfless service). The trust that runs the mandir was established as a public charitable trust in 1977, and today its work spans everything from temple rituals and pilgrim hospitality to food distribution, healthcare camps and disaster relief for the wider community.

Temple Seva
Free Meals for Pilgrims
