Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Dear Shri Kameshji, I had an opportunity to visit Guwahati last September and have been fortunate to have a darshan of Ambal as Kamakya. Here are the details. Guwahati, the capital of Assam is best known for the Kamakya temple. It is believed that when the holy body of Sati devi was shattered, the most important part, that is the " Yoni " had fallen on the Kamakya hill of the Neel Parbat in Assam. Ambal is worshipped here as 'Yoni Mudra'. Kamadeva is credited with building this temple. He is also believed to have re-acquired his beauty (after being reduced to ashes by the Lord) in this place. It is therefore called Kamrup Kamakya. At the entrance to the sanctum are two multi-metal vigrahas of Kameswara and Kameswari. There are a few steps behing these vigrahas which lead to the 'Yoni Mudra' of Ambal. There is perennial water flowing under the 'Yoni' and the offerings are given here and the water below the 'Yoni' is sprinkled on one's head. The current temple is believed to have been over 500 years old. A few meters above the Kamakya temple on the same Neel Parbat is 'Bhuvaneswari'. While the 'Dasa Mahavidyas' are also on the hill, it is believed that the visit to Kamakya Devi is not complete unless one visits Bhuvaneswari also. It is the highest point in Guwahati and from Bhuvaneswari, we can see Brahmaputra river in full flow and the Shiva temple looking in the direction of HIS consort. The Brahmaputra is said to have changed its course to facilitate the Lord to look at Ambal all the time. The trip to Kamakya is about 40 minutes one way from the city centre.
