Kamakhya Devi Mandir: Goddess Kamakhya, History & Pilgrimage Guide

In this video, we have covered Kamakhya Temple, also known as Kamrup’s Kanya Temple or the “Temple of Bliss”, located on the Nilachal Hills in Guwahati, Assam. Built before the 10th century by the Koch dynasty, this ancient temple is one of the oldest and most revered Hindu shrines in India, dedicated to Goddess Kamakhya. Known for its Tantric practices, the temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas and holds immense religious significance, especially during the Ambubachi Mela celebrating the Goddess’s annual cycle. The current Nilachal-style structure has been rebuilt multiple times over centuries, and it continues to attract pilgrims for its unique worship of the aniconic yoni in natural stone and its historical and spiritual importance in the Shakta Hindu tradition.
