On May 23, 2025, the Jai Bhole Group made a generous donation of pure gold kundala, valued at ₹531,000, to the Mataji at the revered Shakti Peeth, Shri Arasuri Ambaji Yatradham. This donation was made by Dipesh Patel from Ahmedabad and the Jai Bhole Group in a spirit of devotion and respect. The group has previously donated several religious items, including a golden paduka, bell, chamer, and an ajay baan, showcasing their commitment to the temple and its traditions.
The donation ceremony took place in the presence of Kaushik Modi, the managing trustee of the Shri Ambaji Mata Devasthan Trust. These acts of charity by the Jai Bhole Group enhance the spiritual atmosphere at the Ambaji Dham, reflecting Gujarat’s deep religious faith and commitment to spiritual offerings.
Ambaji is a prominent pilgrimage site located in the Banaskantha district of Gujarat. Nestled in the Aravalli hills, it is a significant location for many devotees. The temple does not house a statue of the goddess; instead, worship is directed towards a yantra, known as the Shri Yantra, which is believed to be connected to powerful Shakti Peeths in Ujjain and Nepal.
Every month, on the eighth day, rituals are performed for this yantra, drawing numerous visitors throughout the year. The temple experiences a peak in visitors during the Navratri festival, which is celebrated with great fervour. It is said that the temple was originally a small shrine, but over time it has evolved into a grand structure, marked by its golden kalash (spire) that adorns the top.
Ambaji is also known as a significant location for the Saraswati River’s origin and is associated with many legends from Hindu mythology. Devotees believe that the goddess has a unique presence, as worshippers can only see her through the adorning clothes and ornaments arranged inside the garbhagriha (sanctum). This arrangement allows for different appearances of the goddess throughout the day, creating a unique experience for each visitor.
The presence of the Jai Bhole Group at the temple symbolizes the ongoing tradition of devotion and offering in Gujarat. Their past donations and current act of giving further enrich the spiritual legacy of Ambaji, making it a beacon of faith and devotion for countless pilgrims.
Ambaji attracts thousands of pilgrims every month, many of whom walk long distances to pay their respects. The temple, located at an altitude of 1,580 feet, is considered a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the spiritual essence of Gujarat.
The Jai Bhole Group’s commitment to the temple and its traditions showcases how community support can help preserve and promote religious beliefs and practices. As Ambaji continues to flourish as a spiritual destination, the contributions of groups like Jai Bhole will play a vital role in its legacy.
In conclusion, the donation of the gold kundala by the Jai Bhole Group is more than just a gift; it is a testament to the enduring spirit of faith and community in Gujarat. As the temple continues to welcome devotees, it remains a symbol of hope, devotion, and the rich cultural heritage of the region.
