Ambaji Temple

Ambaji Temple is a very famous Hindu pilgrim center that pays tribute to Amba (form of Goddess Durga). The Ambaji Temple is located in Aravalli hills, right next to Gujarat-Rajasthan boundary. It is said that this temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peeths as the heart of Goddess Sati fell down here at the time of mythological incident named Daksha Yajna, which is why it is very sacred for Hindus. The Ambaji temple is of a very ancient origin since it was built many thousands of years ago. In addition, it has been renovated and reconstructed many times. This temple’s present structure is made out of marble. Also, one should note that it does not have any idol; instead, it has a Shree Visa Yantra. Every year millions of people come to visit this shrine, especially during the festival named Bhadarvi Poonam. There is no world ranking for temples but Ambaji is regarded as one of the topmost shrines in India.
