Kamakhya Temple
Dedicated to Goddess Kamakhya
About This Temple
Located at the top of Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, Maa Kamakhya Temple is one of the most revered Shakti Peethas in India. According to ancient tradition, the sacred womb of Goddess Sati fell here, making the shrine a vital center for divine feminine worship. Rebuilt in 1565 AD by Koch King Nara Narayana, the temple features a unique beehive shaped dome called the Nilachal architecture style. Inside the sanctum, there is no physical idol. Instead, devotees pray at a natural stone yoni fed by a subterranean water spring. Millions of pilgrims visit during the annual Ambubachi Mela in June.
