Kamakhya Temple

Reviewed By senraayan - Varanasi, India

Located atop of a small Nilachal hill at Guwahati, the temple has a very unique history and is the most popular temple dedicated to Goddess Shathi (Bleeding Goddess) in India. The temple premises are clean and well maintained but mostly crowded, even during weekdays. One has to be there at early morning hours to get lined up for the free dharsan of the deity and the dharsan inside main tower, closes at 1300hrs. Special dharsan (500 bucks per head) facility is also available but tickets can be booked at the early dawn hours, on the same day of dharsan. A big tower along with a few nearby towers with kalasams at the top appears so divine and graceful, representing the great marvels of indian traditional architecture. Daily Annadhanam available between 1200 to 1500 hrs and is very very well managed by the temple authorities. Cameras and mobiles are allowed inside the premises but photography inside the main tower is prohibited. Special facilities like waiting room, wheel chairs etc for differently abled and old people are provided by the temple authorities and it is really worth tonnes of thanks and appreciation.
