Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not visit the Ambaji Temple on November 14, as his scheduled programme for the occasion of Labh Pancham has been deferred due to administrative considerations. The Banaskantha Collector’s office confirmed the development through an official press release, stating that the November 14, 2026, event had been postponed until further notice following government instructions.
The decision comes at a time when the temple is preparing for a substantial gathering of devotees. Ambaji has been attracting large numbers of pilgrims during the ongoing festive holiday period, and an even bigger turnout is anticipated on Saturday due to Labh Pancham. Authorities are understood to have taken the decision keeping crowd management and the convenience of visiting devotees in mind.
Despite the cancellation of the temple programme, Modi’s visit to Gujarat remains on schedule. The Prime Minister is expected to land at Ahmedabad Airport late on November 13 before heading to Gandhinagar. He will stay overnight at Lok Bhavan. However, his planned visit to Ambaji the next day for darshan and worship will not take place.
