Why to visit Kamakhya Temple
Kamakhya Temple is one of the most venerated sanctuaries of Goddess Shakti in India, located on the Nilanchal Hill in the western portion of Guwahati, Assam. Kamakhya Temple is one of four major Shakti Peethas (Temples with greatest powers of divinity) in the country, according to Hindu scriptures. The Kamakhya temple's main entrance is exquisitely crafted, with basic yet lovely sculptures that are adorned with colourful flowers. The temple features a large dome that looks out over the Nilanchal Hills in the distance. It is most festive during the Ambubachi Festival and Fare, which takes place in June for three to four days.
