Maharana of Danta state brought Mataji to Ambaji
According to a legend, Maharana of Danta state, a great devotee of Mataji, brought Mataji to Ambaji. Maharana was walking ahead and Mataji was riding behind. Maharana was forbidden to look back. When he came across a dense forest on the way, Maharana naturally turned back to see how far Mataji was. At that very moment, Mataji was standing there. Then Maharana built a temple at that place which is today called Ambaji.
This temple is believed to be of prehistoric age. But considering the available circumstances, the present location is about 1200 years old. The tradition of descriptive praises of Ambaji can be found from the Puranas to Adi Shankaracharya and ancient history and travelogues.
Mother gave the kingdom to Raopalji Parmar
