Description

Vishalla', a traditionally designed restaurant, came into being on 27 March, 1978. The designer, Mr. Surendra Patel, discovered the name 'Vishala' in the book Bhattachintamani of a religious group called 'Swaminarayan'. This book encompasses the life span of the Swaminarayan Guru. There is a small district in the Himalayas, 'Badri Vishala', which has been widely recognized as a prominent retreat for the 'rishi-munis' since time unkwn. The place is fit for the purpose owing to its vastness, the ambience, and the immense relaxation it offers. 'Vishala' found its way into the Swaminarayan book due to the mention of the instance when the Swami went to meditate there. The name caught the sensitive eyes of Mr. Patel as it related to his vision of the restaurant, a place for homely, staple food in a relaxed atmosphere and with a free mind.
