A well-known pilgrimage destination, Shamlaji is famous for the Shamlaji Vishnu Temple that is located on the banks of the Meshvo river. Also known as Dholi Dhajawala because of the white flag that flutters on temple’s top, the temple is believed to have been built around the 16th century.
The sculpture of Lord Vishnu probably dates back to the 7-8th century and the small temple opposite the temple is home to a 6th century sculpture of Lord Shiva. Shamlaji is also home to the Karmanu pond and the Surya reservoir known to wash away sins.
Shamlaji, which is 29 km from Modasa and 20 km from Bhiloda, is frequented by state transport buses from Ahmedabad and Himmatnagar.
