The history of Jalaram bapa is very interesting, As per the famous tells once lord Rama appeared before Bapa by changing his look and ask bapa that they want someone to take care of him, Without thinking any more Bapa tell his wife to go with Rama and she done it gladly. She started the journey with the old man. After passing some route Rama gave a stick and a bag to Virbhai and disappeared. Jalaram knew that he was Rama. That original stick and bag still are in the Jalaram Temple. People also think that which food they eat given by the Bapa, reached for the door of heaven. In present time to thousands of devotees take food in the Bhojanalay but the food never gets out of the stock. Jalaram bapa is a great saint in the modern age and they used to say that by feeding hungry and poor people and thought they were feeding god Narayan. The temple has built around samadhi of Bapa. The Samadhi of Bapa is the area around the feet of Lord Ram and the Bag and Danda (stick) kept in the Transparent Cupboard so people can have Darshan nicely. People still believe that they can feel Bapa near them in present time too and you can also feel them in you if you are pure hearted.

The story here is that they accumulated so much money that their bank told them no more money as they can happily run the temple with all the interest they will get for a very long time.
Prashdam food is served daily and it's simple but nice .
Anybody in hardship should get a place near the temple and have nice prashadam ( food ) daily there
