major Shaktipeeths of the country, is considered an important center of
devotion and faith. Every year on the occasion of Poonam Mela, lakhs of

Home Minister Amit Shah met devotees and BJP workers on this religious
pilgrimage route. He observed the service camps set up by BJP workers and
appreciated the arrangements being made for the devotees there.
Amit
Shah said, "May Maa Ambaji keep her blessings on everyone. It is our
privilege to serve the devotees coming to the Poonam Mela."
Ambaji
Temple (Confluence of Faith and Tourism): Ambaji Temple is a symbol of faith
not only for Gujarat but for the entire country. Every year lakhs of devotees
reach here. Seva camps hold special importance for the devotees who travel on
foot during the Poorna Mela.
Service
spirit of BJP workers: In these camps set up on the Yatra route, devotees are
being provided cold water, food, first aid and rest facilities. Amit Shah
described this effort of the workers as an ideal example of social service.
Amit
Shah's visit to Ambaji Temple proved that the confluence of faith and service
is the real identity of Indian culture. When devotees come to the court of Maa
Ambaji with devotion and workers imbued with the spirit of social service help
them, then both faith and culture are strengthened.
