fifteenth day of Full Moon Day of each month as per the Vikram Samvat year of Indian
Hindu calendar, Ambaji celebrates a spontaneous Religious Fair and
Festival with "Lok Melo
" and the big mass of devotees use to come here to worship Ma Ambaji on each day of Poonam during the year.
But on the fifteenth
day ( Full Moon Day ) of the months of Asho, Kartik, Chaitra &
Bhadrapad , the Spirit of Festival and Religious Fairs increases at
their peaks, due to the significance of these holy days in the worship
of Shakti Swaroopini Mata Ambica. The people and devotees also enjoy all
these Four Festivals of purnima, with Darshan, Ohm Havan and Traditional
Garba Dances. Moreover, the cultural shows
of Gujarati Bhawai, a purely ancient folk dance and play of Gujarat is
