Visitors can expect a spacious, modern temple complex with white marble architecture, large prayer halls and landscaped gardens. The central sanctum houses idols of Simandhar Swami along with representations of Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna, and other deities, allowing darshan of multiple traditions in one place. The premises include open courtyards, exhibition halls explaining the Akram Vignan philosophy, satsang halls, dining facilities and book stalls. The environment is calm, clean and well-maintained, suitable for prayer, meditation and sightseeing.

The Trimandir was built by the Dada Bhagwan Foundation inspired by the teachings of Dada Bhagwan (Ambalal Muljibhai Patel, 1908-1988), founder of the Akram Vignan spiritual movement. The Adalaj Trimandir was inaugurated on 29 December 2002 and was the first of the Trimandir temples constructed to embody the concept of non-sectarian worship.

The temple represents the principle of religious unity by housing idols of different traditions together - primarily Lord Simandhar Swami (Jain), Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna/Vishnu - along with other deities, allowing followers of different faiths to pray together. It serves as a center for satsang, spiritual discourses and community meals, reflecting the Akram Vignan emphasis on self-realization and harmonious coexistence.
