According to the story of Maa Amba's manifestation, Prajapati Dakshe organized a Mahayagna named Bridaspati Sak. Dakshe invited all the gods. But his son-in-law did not call Lord Shankar. Hearing the news that her father had a yajna there, Sati Devi reached her father's place despite Lord Shankar's opposition. Inviting Lord Shiva to his father's Mahayagna there and hearing his husband's Nida in his father's mouth, he fell into the Yajna Kunda and gave up his life. Lord Shiva saw the unconscious body of Goddess Sati and worshiped Tandava. And carrying the body on their shoulders, the three began to walk around the world. Then, fearing that the entire creation would be destroyed, Lord Vishnu dismembered Sati's body with his chakra and scattered it all over the earth. Sati's body parts and ornaments fell on 52 places. At this place, one Shakti and one Bhairav assumed small forms and settled down.
These 52 Mahapithas are mentioned in Tantra Chudamani. One of these Shaktipeeth is considered to be Arasur Ambaji. Mataji's heart is believed to have fallen in Arasur. The Bhagavad-gita mentions that Lord Krishna's hair-cutting ceremony took place at Arasurma in place of Amba. On that occasion, Nad Yashoda planted Jawara at Mataji's place and stayed in Ambaji for seven days. Even today the place can be seen on the Gabbar mountain. It is mentioned in the scriptures that Padvo stayed in Arasur to perform Mataji's penance in Arasur during exile. Lord Rama and Lakshmana also came to the Shrigi sage's ashram in the forests of Arbuda to find Sita during the exile. When the sage sent them for darshan to get Mataji's blessings, Mataji was pleased and gave Ajay arrow to Lord Rama to kill Ravana. And it is believed that Ravana was destroyed by that arrow. And legends and folktales introduce this mythical abode. Description of Ambaji The tradition of hymns can be found from the Puranas to Adi Shankaracharya and in recent history and travel descriptions. The temple is believed to be of Prague historical period. But considering the available situation, the present site seems to be twelve hundred years old.
