Banaskantha Shri Ambaji Temple History:

According to the legend of Devi Bhagvat, Mahisasur was a dangerous demon for the entire universe, therefore all gods under the leadership of Tridev Bhrahma, Sri Vishnu and Lord Shiva finally went as a last resort to Mahadevi Adhya Shakti, the supreme original cosmic power of the universe and worshiped her for rescue and help. And then Adhya Devi Shakti incarnated on earth with weapons surrounded by a luminous circle of sunny rays, so atomic energy emerges from its origin and Devi killed and absolved the demon Mahishasur with his sacred sword and has since become known to the world as “Mahisasur Mardini”.
