The holy destination Ami Sthan situates itself near Dighwara in Bihar where it possesses powerful historical and sacred importance. An abundance of myths and historical majesty makes this place a magnet for tens of thousands of worshipers and travelers who wish to receive divine gifts and spiritual growth. Any pilgrim who visits this site will find peace and mystery because it stands as a vital cultural anchor for Bihar.
The area surrounding Dighwara Railway Station at a 4 kilometer distance hosts Ami Sthan while Chapra rests 37 kilometers east. The town of Dighwara received its name from Dirgh Dwar which used to exist in this territory.
Famous in Ami Sthan rests the religious complex Amba Asthan Temple where worshipers honor Goddess Durga under her name Maa Amba. The legendary site attracts religious people because of its mystical properties along with an intense spiritual presence and its origins from an ancient Yagya Kunda (sacrificial fire pit).
An extraordinary water well located next to the temple has sustained water all year without experiencing any dryness while the weather changes. The holy well at this place holds special religious value and people believe its water possesses curative powers. People who visit the place use this sacred water both in religious ceremonies and prayer rituals.
Ami Sthan transforms into a lively place of religious devotion during Navratra when people celebrate Goddess Durga for nine sacred days. Many worshippers who reside at distant locations make pilgrimages to the temple where they seek divine intervention through prayers.
Devotees flock to the temple most frequently during April Navratra (Chaitra Navratri) as well as October Navratra (Sharad Navratri). The temple reaches peak beauty through decorative elements during these festivals while temple authorities conduct a magnificent sacrificial ceremony known as yagya. Sympathetic religious songs and chants and prayers create an uplifting spiritual environment in the air throughout the temple.
Thousands of believers visit the temple because they can witness devotees’ water offerings to the Kunda which disappear after pouring.
People can visit Ami Sthan at any time but the two Navratra festivals in April and October provide the most authentic spiritual experience of the place. The pleasant spring and fall months create favorable conditions for touring and visiting religious sites.
