“C elebrating womanhood and menstruation because the Goddess of this temple bleeds annually during monsoon, Kamakhya Devi Temple in Guwahati is a mysterious temple in India. This temple is situated atop Nilachal Hill and is amongst the century-old and one of the famous 51 Shakti Peethas in India. When you enter the temple premises, you will see no deity but a stone-shaped vagina or “Yoni,” which devotees worship. Pilgrims used to cover it with the red saree. The temple annually remains close enduring June because the Goddess bleeds, making the underground water reservoir red. A current of bizarreness will flow through your body once you visit the Kamakhya Devi Temple of Guwahati. Ambubachi festival is celebrated during the monsoon season every year to celebrate the Goddess fertility for three days. During that time, the temple remains closed and reopens on the fourth day.
