The Maharaja of Bhavnagar, Vajesinh once invited Ladudanji to his palace.  There he sang poems and song in praise of the Maharaja, the Maharaja was very pleased and told one of his ministers to reward Ladudanj with gold ornaments so many that he gets covered in gold.  An artisan came to take measurements of Ladudanji body to make ornaments for him.  The artisan was a devotee of Bhagwan Swaminarayan.  He suggested that Ladudanji go to Gadhada and meet with the Lord almighty himself. Ladudanji agreed but he went with certain conditions in mind, the fulfillment of which would convince him that Bhgwan Swaminarayan is the supreme Godhead.  One of his mental conditions was that Bhagwan Swaminarayan be reading a scripture in an assembly kept in a black cloth (generally scriptures are placed on a red cloth), one other condition was that Bhagwan Swaminarayan be wearing a garland of roses in summer (it was scorching heat and roses were not found in that part of Gujarat), other condition being that Bhagwan Swaminarayan call him by his name even though they had not met previously etc.
