Ambaji

The Ambaji Temple

When you first see the temple, you will be in awe of its pristine beauty. The golden dome on the top glistens as the sun rays fall on it, and the white marble shines with a lovely aura.

You might also find a huge queue right outside the temple on your pilgrimage tour to Ambaji Temple. While the queue might look intimidating, just stand and you will notice how quickly and in an organised manner the line starts to move.

The queue is usually for the cable car that will take you to the Ambaji Temple so that you can continue your pilgrimage tour. You can also choose to climb the winding footpath to reach the temple, however, if you wish to witness the wonderful views of the town then cable car is highly recommended. Mesmerise at the stunning view that will be visible too from the cable car, and try and capture it as much as possible.

The Sanctum

Once you enter the inner sanctum, you will feel the wonderful spiritual feeling wash over you. Unlike other temples, the Ambaji Temple doesn’t have an image of the Goddess but depicts her in a symbolic form.

The queue is maintained even as you enter the inner sanctum, and the sheer warmth and devotion of the fellow pilgrims echo a wonderful spiritual feeling. It feels as if the walls are reverberating with positive energy. On your pilgrimage tour to Ambaji Temple, you might also find pilgrims chanting, singing, and soulful humming of many bhajans.

The inner sanctum of the Ambaji Temple has an intricately carved ceiling, complemented by mesmerising arches.

After you have offered your prayers, move with the line, and exit the temple. You will instantly feel a sense of peace and tranquillity hitting you, as you slowly make your way out.
