Maa Kamakhya Temple
The Maa Kamakhya Temple in Kamrup Metropolitan, Assam, is one of the most revered Hindu temples in India and is considered one of the 51 Shakti Peethas. Located on the Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, the temple is dedicated to the goddess Kamakhya, an incarnation of Goddess Parvati. The temple is known for its unique architectural style and spiritual significance.
The temple complex consists of three main chambers: the western chamber, which is rectangular; the middle chamber, which is square-shaped and contains inscriptions and images of Naranarayana; and the third chamber, which houses the most sacred shrine.
The third chamber features a yoni-like cleft in the bedrock, through which a natural spring flows, keeping the chamber moist. This spring is believed to represent the goddess's womb and is associated with the legend of Sati's reproductive organ falling at this spot.
