There is a famous temple of the Mother Goddess in Guwahati, Assam. The name of this temple is Kamakhya Temple. It is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas

This temple is dedicated to Maa Durga. But the idol of the Mother Goddess is not worshiped here. The yoni of the goddess is worshiped in this temple

The yoni located in the crack of the rock is worshiped in the temple. This place is always wet, which is considered proof of the goddess's power

During these 3 days, water of Brahmaputra river remains red. A white cloth is kept for Mother Goddess in temple. It is said that cloth turns red, which is called Ambubachi Vastra

When the temple opens, this Ambubachi Vastra is given to the devotees as Prasad. During these 3 days, Ambubachi Mela is held

The ancient history of Kamakhya Temple remains a mystery even today. It is said that it was built by Kamadeva himself, but its present form was given by the Ahom kings

According to mythology, when Lord Shiva performed Tandava with the burnt body of Maa Sati, Lord Vishnu cut her body into pieces. Maa Sati's yoni fell at this place

It is said that the Tantriks who attain Siddhi can reach the sanctum sanctorum of the temple without any stairs or doors. However, there is no scientific evidence of this
