The Kamakhya Temple, situated on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, Assam, is a significant Shakti Peeth revered for its connection to feminine creative energy. It uniquely centers on a natural yoni stone rather than a traditional idol. The temple operates daily from approximately 5:30 am to 10 pm, with specific timings for aartis and afternoon closures. Located about 8 km from Guwahati city center, it is accessible from the airport and railway station. Online booking is available for special darshans and pujas to manage crowds, with modest dress and restrictions on phones and leather items required.
