Kamakhya Devi Temple Guwahati
One of the most famous religious sites in Guwahati is the Kamakhya Temple, which is dedicated to Goddess Kamakhya. It is said to be one of the oldest Shakti Pithas and is located on the western part of the city. The temple encompasses ten Mahavidyas and carries high importance. The shrine has undergone a lot of renovations and is maintained nicely by the authorities. It has four Garbagrihas and three mandapas, and its walls are adorned with several sculptures. There is no idol of the Goddess inside the temple rather an image of the yoni of the deity is being worshipped here. The pilgrims who visit the temple have to queue up at the entrance gate and then they enter the dark sanctum to offer their prayers to the Goddess. Kamakhya Devi is well known as the bleeding Goddess as it is said that womb of the deity had been installed in this temple. An amazing view of the Nilachal hills and the surrounding spiritual atmosphere of the temple imparts peace to one’s soul and mind. The temple appears very beautiful during the evening aarti.
POPULAR THINGS TO DO & SEE IN AND AROUND
An annual festival being celebrated here is the Ambubachi Mela. A huge number of devotees is also seen here during the Manasha Puja which is considered to be very holy for the Hindus. During Navaratri the temple is decorated very beautifully and several visitors from all corners of the world visit the temple to take part in the festival. Therefore, an ideal thing to do here is to attend the aarti. One must also visit the nearby Bhuvaneshwari Devi Temple.
