This is the principal shrine of a goddess who has been worshiped since the pre-Vedic period. She is often referred to as Arasuri Amba, named for the location of the temple in the Arasur hills, near the source of the Saraswati river at the south-western end of the Aravali mountain range.

The temple is situated at a distance of 57 kilometers from Abu Road Railway Station and at about 22 kilometers along the Sirohi - Deesa - Kandla highway from the Sirohi District centre.
