Principal Kamakhya shrine on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, a Shakti pilgrimage centre associated with tantric worship and the annual Ambubachi festival.
Kamakhya’s official temple history distinguishes its layered legends from documentary history: it notes references in several religious texts and traditions describing pre-Aryan origins, while its historically traceable prominence becomes clearer with the Koch kingdom in the mid-16th century. The shrine is a major Shakta pilgrimage centre on Nilachal Hill.
