Ambaji: The world’s largest and most expensive Shree Yantra is likely to be placed in Shaktipeeth Ambaji famed Ambaji town in North Gujarat. Prime Minister Narendrabhai Modi is likely to unveil it during his visit to Ambaji on October 30th. Though there’s no mention of this in PM’s officially released program of Gujarat visit, the Yantra was today brought to Ambaji Mandir in a large box, triggering speculations that PM will unveil it.

Over two dozen artists have worked on making this 2200 kg Shree Yantra, which is made from Panch Dhatu: Chandi, Sona, Pital, Tamba, and Loha (silver, gold, brass, copper, and iron).

A 32 kg replica of the Shree Yantra was created ahead of the actual 2200 kg Shree Yantra, which can be seen in photographs here. A religious outfit Jay Bhole Group took a replica of yatra to all the char dhams, char maths, and Tirupati Balaji to ensure the unobstructed installation of the Shree Yantra at the Ambaji temple.

Dipesh Patel of Jay Bhole Group stated that he saw the largest Shri Yantra at Dolashram in Uttarakhand State when he paid a visit there with his family. He then thought that there could be an even bigger Shri Yantra for Goddess Ambaji in Gujarat.

Patel said when he visited Jogulamba mandir in Amravati in the South, he saw ancient Shri Yantra and he again thought that the biggest Shri Yantra should be created and offered to Ambaji. Later with the blessings of Ambaji, he started making a Yantra in Ahmedabad in his own factory.

Patel had earlier offered golden shoes, a fan, and a small Shri Yantra to Ambaji. The Shri Yantra has been made at a cost of around Rs. one crore. It’s four ft long, wide, and high. Guidance from Shringeri Math Shankaracharya was taken while creating the yantra. Aadi Shankaracharya has in Shri Vidya mentioned Shri Yantra. A method of making Shri Yantra is mentioned in the Tantra Raj Mantra book. Dipeshbhai has studied Shri Vidya for four years.
