About This Temple
The Kamakhya Shakti Peeth, located on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, Assam, India, is one of the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites, believed to be where the yoni (womb/vulva) of Goddess Sati fell, making it a powerful center for tantric worship, celebrating divine feminine energy (Shakti), with worship focused on a yoni-shaped stone rather than an idol. It's a vital hub for Tantric practices, featuring surrounding shrines to the Dasa Mahavidyas (ten great wisdom goddesses) and known for its unique rituals, including the annual Ambubachi Mela celebrating the goddess's menstruation.
