Gandhinagar: Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani today inaugurated the lodging and boarding house attached to the Mahant Buddhigiriji Shitalhirji Maharaj Janseva Pratishthan on the 6th Patotsav of the Ambika Mata Mandir and unveiled the golden dome of the temple at Vadiyavir village in Idar taluka in Sabarkantha district.
