Did you know that Shri Mahakali temple is Gujarat’s oldest temple and one of the 51 Shakti Peethas of India? Back in the 15th century, the top of the temple was destroyed to build a dargah. For over 500 years, the traditional flag did not hoist on the temple. In June 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unfurled a traditional flag on the temple and the flag was hoisted after more than 5 centuries.
