The Kamakhya Temple The Kamakhya Temple Is A Shakti Peeth Temple Situated On The Nilachal Hill In Western Part Of Guwahati City In Assam. It Is An Important Pilgrimage Destination For General Hindu And Tantric Worshipers. The Temple Consists Of Three Major Chambers. The Western Chamber Is Large And Rectangular And Is Not Used By The General Pilgrims For Worship. The Middle Chamber Is A Square, With A Small Idol Of The Goddess, A Later Addition. The Walls Of This Chamber Contain Sculpted Images Of Naranarayana, Related Inscriptions And Other Gods. The Middle Chamber Leads To The Sanctum Of The Temple In The Form Of A Cave, Which Consists Of No Image But A Natural Underground Spring That Flows Through A Yoni-shaped Cleft In The Bedrock. During The Ambuvaci Festival Each Summer,the Menstruation Of The Goddess Kamakhya Is Celebrated. During This Time, The Water In The Main Shrine Runs Red With Iron Oxide Resembling Menstrual Fluid. It Is Likely That This Is An Ancient Khasi Sacrificial Site, And Worshiping Here Still Includes Sacrifices. Devotees Come Every Morning With Goats To Offer To Shakti. The Kamakhya Temple In Assam Symbolizes The "fusion Of Faiths And Practices" Of Aryan And Non-Aryan Elements In Assam. The Goddess Is Worshiped According To Both The Vamachara (Left-Hand Path) As Well As The Dakshinachara (Right-Hand Path) Modes Of Worship). Offerings To The Goddess Are Usually Flowers, But Might Include Animal Sacrifices. In General Female Animals Are Exempt From Sacrifice, A Rule That Is Relaxed During Mass Sacrifices.
