Burhanpur is an Ancient city in State of Madhya Pradesh, India.
In 1798 Lord Swaminarayan sanctified this city on his pilgrimage as Neelkanth Varni. Later, he sent his paramhansas like Bramhanand Swami, Kripanand Swami, Gunatitanand Swami, Premanand Swami, Poornanand Swami, Naronarayananad Swami, Nirvikaranand Swami, Anantanand Swami, Adbhutanand Swami, Shrigurucharanratanand Swami etc. who sowed roots of Satsang in this city
Almighty Lord Swaminarayan himself gave Lakshminarayan Dev to Seth Shiva Shah of Burhanpur in 1825-26. Idols of L.N. Dev were then kept at the residence of Brahmin Ramchandra who lived at site of present temple.
In December 1829 Idols of L.N. Dev were installed in small temple of 1 shikhar by H.H. Acharya Shri Raghuvirji Maharaj with Param Chaitanyanand Swami.
In Samvat 1907, Raghuveerji Maharaj visited Burhanpur with Narsimhanand Swami and a huge procession was carried out in the city.
Later in 1871, Acharya Bhagwatprasadji installed Harikrishna Maharaj adjacent to L.N. Dev and instructed Swami Balmukunddasji guru Gopalanand Swami to build a huge temple. Accordingly Balmukund Swami completed new temple in 1875 without disturbing the original installation of idols. Bhagwatprasadji came with Adbhutanand Swami, Pavitranand Swami, Gopalji Maharaj, Nishkamanand Bramhchari, etc. in a Train (then called as Aag-gadi)
Thereafter in the year around 1898, Bramchari Chaitanyanandhi, Br. Nirdoshanandji, Krishnanandji, Nishkamanandji on the instruction of Shri Viharilalji Maharaj and with donation from Shri Bhaulal Haridasji Gandhi installed Ghanshyam Maharaj in Sukhshaiya on the right of L.N. Dev. Later in 1944 Shri Goverdhandas Gandhi son of Shri Bhaulal Gandhi donated a farm at Titgao for maintenance of Ghanshyam Maharaj.
This temple also witnessed satsang under great saints like Br.Mayatitanandji, Br. Atmanandji, Br. Chaitanyanandji, etc. and Purani Dharmswaroopdasji, Shastri Nilkanthdasji, Chaturbhuj Shastri, Shastri Lakshmiprasaddasji, etc. Also well known ekantik haribhakt were Seth Shyamdas Shiva Shah, Onkardas Nanabhai, Bechardas Tukduji, Narottam Lakshmidas, Bhaulal Haridas Gandhi, Seth Tikamdas Bechardas Shah, Seth Ranchoddas Merchant and others

This temple is located off main road where there is not much crowd and silent area.
After entering I felt very pleasant and positive.
This is not so famous or must visit place in Burhanpur but one must definitely visit if you have time.
Only thing needed are directions to the temple from main road.
