Architecture

The temple is in the structure of a fort that is surrounded from all sides, on the bank of the River Ganga. It lies in the flood-prone district of Saran and it is very near the Ganges. The Ganga takes a curb at this point going to South. The image of the Ganga at this point is Lingvat. Even during a flood, the Ganga never touches the fort. The entire structure of Temple is on debris. During 1973 the then Director of the Department of Archaeology of the Government of Bihar Sri Prakash Chandra excavated and found a wall made of bricks used during the Pala dynasty.

In Maa Ambika Sthan, three shiv temples are present in an equidistant triangle. The center of the triangle is called Prambika Or Ambika. Surprisingly the distance of the three Shiv temples (Baidyanath, Vishwanath and Pashupati Nath) are equal and if you draw an imaginary line connecting the three Shiva Temple it will an equidistant triangle with Ambika Asthana Ami in the center.

Religious Significance

According to legends, King Manan Singh was the king of Hathua. He considered himself to be the greatest devotee of Durga. Because of pride, they did not consider anyone to be a devotee of mother. In this state, there was a famine in the state and people started craving for food. Thaavu was a true devotee of the devout goddess mother in Thawe. According to the legend, Rahasu used to eat grass in the day with the grace of the mother and she used to get food from the night, due to which the people there started receiving food, but the king did not believe. The king asked Rahu to call the mother a croaking and call the mother. Rahushu often prayed to the king that if the mother comes here then the state will be ruined, but the king does not believe. On the prayer of Rahushu, all the buildings of the king who reached here, along with mother Kolkata, Patna and Ami, fell and the king died. Where the mother visited, there is a grand temple and there is a temple of Rahasu Bhagat at a distance. It is believed that those who come to see the mother also visit the temple of Rahasu Bhagat, otherwise their worship is considered incomplete. There is still the ruins of Manan Singh's buildings near this temple.
