AMBAJI
The Renowned Sakti Peetha of Gujarat 

As irony would have it, here there is neither idol, nor painting of any kind of the holy MOTHER, but only a yantra is installed and it is given the appearance of the goddess with the help of shimmering dress and floral decoration. The consummate artistry of the priests-the Nagar Brahmanas makes the yatra appear as the veritable all-graceful, all adorable, all-loving MOTHER Sakti that joins the palms of ardent devotees at its very sight. Obeisance to this conventional practice that has become primarily responsible to bringing lacs of devotees throughout the year and making a house-hold and much venerated deity, even by the incarnated like the Almighty God Sri Krishna. For every Gujarati, she is the Pratyaksha daivam and is answering to every call round the clock. Mighty rulers and renowned saint singers arc drawn towards her feet, since time immemorial and that made this holy kshetra one of the most visit-worthy shrines both by Sakteyas and bhaktas of every sect and brand.
