The Ambika Niketan Temple, situated in Surat, Gujarat, is one of the most popular spiritual destinations dedicated to Goddess Ashtabhuja Ambika (Goddess Durga). The best time to visit Ambika Niketan Temple is during the cooler months of October to March when the weather is pleasant, with minimal rainfall and a comfortable temperature range. This period is ideal as Surat experiences a tropical climate where summers can be extremely hot and monsoons can bring heavy downpours, making sightseeing and temple visits less comfortable.
Moreover, visiting during the festive season can enhance your experience as the temple is beautifully decorated and lively with celebrations. The Navratri festival, which usually takes place in September or October, is a particularly auspicious time to visit the Ambika Niketan Temple, as it is dedicated to Goddess Durga. Devotees from all over the country visit the temple during these nine nights of festivities to offer prayers and witness the vibrant 'Garba' dance performed in the honor of the Goddess. However, keep in mind that the temple will be quite crowded during this period, so plan your visit accordingly if you wish to avoid large crowds.
