The place of Ambe Mata or the Mother Goddess is a famous spot for religious tourism for Hindu pilgrims. This temple has been worshipped from Pre Vedic times and the Goddess is accepted as the Arasur ni Ambe Maa as the temple is situated on top of the Aravalli hills. Ambaji Mandir is accepted widely as one of the most important Shakti Peeth and it is well known that locals around the area keep taking the name of Ambaji as a sacred hymn. Ambaji is lauded as the supreme cosmic controller of the world. Historically, there has never been an idol or picture of the Goddess though the resident priests had painted the upper inner area of the roof in a way that conjures up the resplendent image of the Goddess.
There is a simple Gokh in the inner wall bearing the famous gold Shakti Visa Sri Yantra that has a convex shape and bears 51 holy Bij letters. Adequate precautions have been taken that the Yantra can be worshipped but not photographed. Even devotees are asked to tie their eyes with a white cloth before they are allowed to worship the Yantra. History says that the Ambaji temple has a strong Tantric past and the famous revered Batuk Tantric is associated with this temple.
