In which state is the Kamakhya Temple, a famous Shakti Peetha, located?

 

 

The Kamakhya Temple is located in Assam, on the Nilachal Hill in Guwahati. It is one of the most important Shakti Peethas in India, dedicated to Goddess Kamakhya, a form of Shakti. Unlike most temples, the Kamakhya Temple does not have an idol; instead, worship is centered around a naturally occurring rock fissure believed to represent the goddess’s womb. The temple is also famous for the Ambubachi Mela, which celebrates the goddess’s annual menstruation, symbolizing fertility and power. Built by the Koch kings in the 16th century, the temple remains a unique spiritual and cultural destination in Northeast India.
