AMBAJI


AMBAJI


We travel from Mumbai to Ahmadabad by train. Reach there by 1. We had 4 hours before our next train to abu road.

We go to rani no hazeero. We shop for block print , indigo & gamthi materials for Kurtis. We bought a kurta for snehal from ratanpol.

We then go to gathi singh nu derasar. It is very old & peaceful like all derasar's.

We catch the train to abu road & in the night we stayed at abu road. We tried the famous rabdi after dinner at abu.



Next day morning we take a car to ambaji. On reaching there we first take a rickshaw to gabbar.

The temple of ambaji at gabbar is beautifully located on a small hill . You can reach the top by climbing up the stairs or by udankhatola i.e, Ropeway.It is in fact One of the 51 famous Ancient Shakti Peeths and it is place of where the heart of the dead Devi Sati fell at the top of hill of Gabbar. The view from the temple is picturesque, & the ride of the ropeway is a lot of fun.

Then we head to ambaji temple . the temple is clean though a little crowded & there is a big line. We take the prasad of mohanthal.
Our return trip to Ahmadabad is by a sleeper bus. I am a little surprised because it is my first experience on a sleeper bus & i find it a comfortable private journey back to Ahmadabad .

We take a plane to mumbai the next day.
