Gabbar Hill Ambaji Temple Darshan and Aarti Timings

Ambaji Temple is located in Ambaji city, Danta taluka of Banaskantha district, surrounded by the beautiful Aravalli hills. Shri Arasuri Ambaji Mata Temple is the origin of the universe’s ultimate cosmic force. Ambaji Temple is included as one of the 51 Shakti Piths.

Shri Arasuri Ambaji Mata Temple Shrine With No Idol

There is no idol or picture of the goddess Amba in the Nij Mandir. However, there is a simple, cave-like Gokh on the inner wall, which contains a gold-plated Holy Shakti Visa Shree Yantra with 51 Bijpatra. It is carefully placed so that it is visible for devotion, but it was never photographed and will never be photographed.

Ambaji Mata Devasthan Trust has developed a large Havan Shala, which contains one main Havan Kund and eight smaller Havan Kundas in the Chachar Chowk near Nij Mandir.

The main Ambaji Temple has a big Mandap, the holy Gokh of Mataji in the Garbhgruh, and in front of it is the large Chachar Chowk with beautiful marble flooring near the Yagnashala.

The newly built Main Temple Nij Mandir is worth visiting anytime, with its beautiful carvings and artistic design showcasing Indian traditional culture.

All rituals at Ambaji are performed in Chachar Chowk. The temple has a golden Kalash on top, 103 feet high and weighing over 3 tonnes.

It is specially made from a single marble, brought out of the mines of Arasur Hill and has been plated with pure gold. It is attached to the Holy Long Flag of Ambaji and Trishul.

Gabbar Tirth History

According to Indian scriptures, Gabbar Tirth is located in the Arasur hills of the Ambica forest, on the ancient Aravalli ranges, near the origin of the Vedic Kunvarika river Saraswati.

Gabbr Tirth is just 5 km from the Ambaji Temple and there are 999 steps to climb the hill and reach the temple. This temple is situated on the border states of Gujarat and Rajasthan at a height of approximately 480 metres, or 1600 feet, above sea level, with a total area of 8.33 sq km (5 sq mi).

The story told in the “Tantra Chudamani” states that part of Devi Sati’s dead body’s heart fell on this holy peak of Gabbar.

Gabbar Tirth in Ramayan

It is believed that in Ramayan, Lord Rama and Laxman arrived at the Ashram of Shrungi Rushi in search of Sitaji. Shrungi Rushi told them to worship Devi Ambaji at Gabbar and after doing so, Jagat Mata Shakti Devi Ambaji gave him the arrow named “Ajay.” Through this arrow, Rama defeated and killed Ravan in the battle.

Gabbar Parikrama Path

Shri Arasuri Ambaji Mata Devasthan Trust has developed a parikrama way around the Gabbar hill. The new attraction is the 51 Shaktipeeth darshan, which is associated with 50 different temple replicas from each Shaktipeeth across ancient India.

The temples are made the same as they were at their original locations. One can do a darshan of all 51 Shakti Peeth by doing the Parikrama of Gabbar Hill.
