The sacred grounds of the Kamakhya Devi Temple, are nestled amidst the serene Nilachal hills in Guwahati, Assam. Here, in the lush greenery and tranquil surroundings lies a divine abode where the presence of Mother Shakti is palpable at every turn.

Legend has it that this temple is one of the most revered Shakti Pithas in the country, where Devi Sati’s reproductive organ fell during Lord Shiva’s tandava, marking it as a place of immense spiritual power. As you enter its hallowed halls, you will find yourself enveloped in the aura of divine grace, beckoning you to delve deeper into the mysteries of tantra practices and the worship of Mother Shakti in her various forms.

Devotees flock here from far and wide, drawn by the promise of spiritual enlightenment and the opportunity to seek blessings from the goddess.

Throughout the year, the temple resonates with the chants of devotees engaged in various types of poojas, seeking the blessings of the divine mother.
