Shamlaji

Shamlaji

Shamlaji is one of the largest pilgrim temples of the Sabarkantha district in India. It is more commonly known among locals as "Dhodi Dhwaja Vada" because it always has a white silk flag flittering on top of temple. Its unique designs on the outer part of temple is one of its greatest attractions; the image becomes more interesting with the mountains in the background. The temple has a beautiful sculpture of Lord Krishna as Shamdiya bhagwan, with a piece of real diamond embossed on his chin.

The Shamlaji is around 20 km away from Bhiloda. Bhiloda is a taluka place of Sabarkantha district. Bhagavan Shamaliya is believed to be Shamalsha Sheth for His Bhktas.
