Kamakhya Temple, Hindu temple on Nilachal Hill in Kamrup, India.
Located on a hill overlooking the Brahmaputra River, this religious complex includes several shrines dedicated to different feminine deities.
The temple's foundation dates to the 8th century, with reconstruction in 1564 by King Naranarayana after Muslim forces destroyed the original structure.
The Ambubachi Mela festival marks the annual menstruation of goddess Kamakhya, drawing thousands of devotees from across India each June.
The temple remains open from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM, with public buses operating regularly from Guwahati city.
Instead of housing a traditional deity statue, the temple contains a natural spring that flows over a stone formation representing the goddess.
