Ambājogāi

Ambajogai, often referred as the "City Of The Temple" holds a significant place in history, second only to Kashi in terms of its cultural and spiritual heritage. The city boasts over a hundred temples, many of which have withstood the challenges like dismantlement by the Nizams of Hyderabad and damage from the Killari earthquake. Despite these setbacks, Ambajogai remains a testament to its historical legacy. Visitors can marvel at ancient "baravs" (step wells) and serene lakes, while the revered temple of Shri Yogeshwari Mata features an exceptional Vinayaki idol in its shikhara, showcasing the city's enduring artistry and devotion.

The town was renamed Nizami name Mominabad to Ambajogai after goddess Yogeshwari (also known as Jogai) whose heritage temple is located here and are visited by people all over from Maharashtra, largely from the Konkan region. The town has many heritage places and this township is known as the cultural capital of the Marathwada region.
