Welcome to an immersive journey into the divine realm of Shri Kamakhya Temple nestled in the heart of Guwahati, India. In this captivating video, we delve deep into the rich history, spiritual significance, and enigmatic legends surrounding one of the most revered Hindu pilgrimage sites.


Kamakhya temple is one of the oldest Shakti peeth in India. It is situated on the Nilachal hill in Guwahati,Assam.


The story behind Kamakhya temple is quite interesting. It's about Hindu God Shiva and Sati.


Once Sati fraught with Shiva to attend her father's great Yagna,where they both were not invited purposefully. Sati went alone to the Yagna. There she was insulted by her father and also he spoke ill about Shiva. Unable to bear the insult Sati jumped in to the sacrificial fire of the Yagna. Shiva got to know about the incident,he couldn't control his anger. Carrying his wife's burnt corpse he went on a rampage with his dance of destruction. Which we all know as Tandav. All God and Goddess were in fear. They all went to Vishnu to get any help. Then Vishnu sent his Chakra and cut burnt body of Sati,in order to calm Shiva.


It's believed that Sati's body parts fell in 108 different places across India. Today they are known as Shakti peetha.


The place where her womb and vagina fell,is what today's Kamakhya temple.


The Ambubachi Mela is an annual mela celebrated during assamese month Ahaar. It is the celebration of the yearly menstruation course of goddess Kamakhya. It is believed that during that time the water of Brahmaputra near the temple turns red. There is no idol of the deity inside the temple. But she is worshipped in the form of a YONI like stone instead over which a natural spring flows.
