On behalf of Saptah Mandir we wish to record our sympathies and condolences to the Dhupelia
family on the sudden and tragic passing away of a very noble and gentle soul ,Satish.
The Dhupelia family’s contribution to Saptah Mandir has been enormous. That legacy was
carried through by Satish who joined and assisted the Mandir in many capacities especially In
the early years in town. One of our most memorable moments was during the official opening of
the New Saptah Mandir in Reservoir Hills, where he spent 4 glorious days capturing the various
events and celebrations in August 2005.
His passion for photography knew no limits. His expertise and methodical planning was an
inspiration to many of our devotees. Satish showed a power of humility, compassion and love
for children. His commitment to Saptah Mandir never waivered. He insisted that he be allowed
to compere our Chandani Chowk Food Festival during our Saptah Celebrations.
He relished that opportunity to be part of Saptah Mandir. He enjoyed those moments where he
got a chance to interact with the community and also catch up with old friends.
This selfless seva will undoubtedly be treasured in the corridors of Saptah Mandir for many many
years.
His sudden passing away will leave a huge void in our Saptah Mandir and the greater Gujarati
and Indian community.
We pray to Paramatma to grant this noble soul eternal peace and the family the strength and
courage to bear this huge loss.
Kind regards,
