AMBAJI
The Renowned Sakti Peetha of Gujarat 

It is this Goddess whose grace enabled Rukmini to secure Krishna as her Pati. It is here on this punyabhumi tonsorial operation for Sri Krishna, the eighth incarnation of God was made with all due fervour. It is here the vanquished King Suratha did penance to regain his kingdom and obtained it with Mother's grace. And it is this Ambika in her fierce aspect that punished the greatest builder Vimalshah for nut acknowledging her glory. It is this Goddess that fulfilled the desire of Rana Pratap in coming out unscathed from Idargadh, when besieged by the .formidable Mughul emperor Akbar. It is in vicinity of this, the holy river Saraswati rises near Arbuda Parvatha, an integral part of Aravalli range deemed more ancient than the Himalayas: It is adjacent to the world renowned temple dedicated to Eswar, known as Koteswar Mahadev.
