AHMEDABAD: Keeping in view the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the state, Shri Arasuri Ambaji Mata Devasthan Trust (SAAMDT), which manages the Ambaji temple has decided to keep the premises closed for devotees from January 23 to 31.
In a statement, the temple trust said that devotees can participate in the evening aarti by connecting online using social media platforms.
Recently, the Ambaji temple saw a surge with weekly donations doubling as compared to pre-Covid times.
After undertaking work on renovation and restoration of the path leading from the pilgrimage town of Ambaji to the Gabbar hilltop, the temple authorities had recently started a project that would allow devotees of Goddess Amba to perform barefoot parikrama around the 51 Shakti Peeths whose replicas, in the form of temples and caves, have already been built in the past. tnn
