History & tradition
Kamakhya Temple stands on the Nilachal hills in Guwahati, Assam, and is one of the oldest and most revered centres of Tantric practice, dedicated to the goddess Kamakhya. It is the site of the Ambubachi Mela, an annual festival of the goddess. The structure is dated to the 8th–9th century with many later rebuildings, and its final form defines a local style known as Nilachal. It is counted among the oldest four of the 51 pithas of the Shakta tradition.
