Most pilgrims stay in the Seth Vardhaman Kalyanji Trust dharamshala right at Bhadreshwar, which offers simple rooms for yatriks and an on-site bhojanshala serving Jain sattvik meals; book through the pedhi (02838-282382). For hotels with more comfort, base at Mundra (approx 27 km), Gandhidham or Bhuj, all with a range of guesthouses and business hotels, and day-trip to the temple.
The default and most fitting place to stay is the tirth's own dharamshala, run by the Seth Vardhaman Kalyanji Trust on the temple premises. It offers plain, functional rooms aimed at yatriks rather than tourists, and its real value is proximity: you can walk to the 6 AM abhishek without arranging pre-dawn transport. Rooms are typically allotted through the pedhi, so call ahead (02838-282382), especially around festivals when the dharamshala fills quickly.
Just as important is the on-site bhojanshala, which serves Jain sattvik meals, no onion or garlic, prepared to the community's dietary code. For strict Jain travellers this solves the hardest logistical problem in remote Kutch, where compliant food is otherwise scarce.
If you want air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and hotel-grade comfort, the trade-off is distance: base yourself in Mundra about 27 km away, or in the larger towns of Gandhidham and Bhuj, all of which have guesthouses and business hotels, and drive in for darshan. Many travellers split the difference, one night at the dharamshala for the morning aarti, the rest in a town hotel.
