About

The Old Ambaji Temple in Surat is believed to be over 300 years old. Historical accounts suggest that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj visited this temple after his battles, which indicates its significance during the 17th century. The temple has been a major center of devotion for centuries, preserving its religious and cultural heritage.

Dedicated to Goddess Ambika, an incarnation of Shakti, the temple draws numerous devotees seeking blessings. A significant event is the annual Rath Yatra during Dussehra, featuring four elaborately decorated chariots, with the main chariot adorned in silver. This procession attracts pilgrims nationwide, reflecting the temple's cultural importance. ​
