Sight Seeing

Ambaji: (22 km from Danta)

Ambaji is one of the major Shakti-Piths of India, situated in the Arasur Hills. The Ambaji temple contains no idol, but an inscribed Yantra in the niche. Ambaji is essentially a temple town-with a temple dedicated to Goddess Ambaji in the centre. The Ambaji temple and the front court 'Chachar no Chowk' are aligned in the same axis of the cave at Gabbar Hill - the original abode of Goddess Ambaji. The present temple was constructed a few years ago, maintaining the original architectural style. Millions of pilgrims visit the temple every year - especially during Navratri to seek the blessing of Goddess Ambaji.

Kumbhariya: (30 km from Danta)

The Kumbhariya group of Jain temples dates back to the Solanki period (11 th to 12 th century). The five temples are dedicated to: Mahavira, Shantinath, Parshwanath, Neminath and Sambhavnath. The temples have main shrine in the centre of a rectangular courtyard, formed by a series of shrines with shikhars, dedicated to Jain Tirthankaras. On each side there is a porch with a balcony, reached by a flight steps. The quality of workmanship on the marble is excellent and reminds one of the Delwada Jain temples at Mt. Abu.

Taranga: (27 km from Danta)

The Ajitnath Temple (1166 AD) is one of the finest and best preserved examples of Jain temple architecture from the Solanki period. It has a shikhara, mandapa, pillars and brackets made out of marble with excellent carving.
