Vaishnodevi Temple, Ahmedabad Overview
Vaishnodevi Temple, along the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway at what is also known as the Vaishnodevi Circle, is a stone-built place of worship carved about 50 feet in diameter into an artificial rock. With a 1,350 sq ft hall, the temple can house about 5,000 devotees at a time.
Mirroring the Vaishnodevi temple in Katra, Jammu and Kashmir, the Vaishnodevi Temple in Ahmedabad is a smaller version of the original. It is dedicated to Vaishnodevi, an avatar of the Hindu female deity of Maa Durga. The heads of three other Hindu goddess idols, Lakshmi, Kali and Saraswati along with a Shaiva shrine are installed within the temple.
