44-year-old Mukesh Patel who is originally from Khoraj village near Gandhinagar but now settled in Ahmedabad had taken pledge to donate 25 kg gold to Ambaji mandir to make its shikhar golden.

The historic Ambaji temple is located on the Gabbar hills in Banaskantha district. It is one of the 51 shaktipeeths.

Mukeshbhai walks to Ambaji Mandir from Gandhinagar once ever year for last over twenty years. There was a time when he was jobless and his financial condition was poor. He now successfully runs his own construction company(Siddhi group). Mukeshbhai believes that his donations to Goddess Ambaji was minuscule in comparison to the grace she showers on him and other devotees. In 2009, Mukeshbhai had also donated Rs 75 lakh to the Umiya Mata Mahotsav in Unjha.
