About

Ambaji is a major Shakti Peetha where the heart of Goddess Sati is believed to have fallen. Uniquely, there is no idol or image of the goddess in the sanctum; instead, a sacred Shri Yantra inscribed on a copper plate is worshipped as the supreme deity.

The temple is situated on the Arasur hill in the Aravalli range and is the principal shrine of the goddess in Gujarat, drawing millions of devotees, especially during the Bhadrapad Purnima fair.
