It?s the primary temple, devoted to Kamakhya, within a complex of temples devoted towards ten Mahavidyas: Bhuvaneshvari, Bagalamukhi, Chinnamasta, Tripura Sundari, Tara, Kali, Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Matangi and Kamala. Of these, Tripurasundari, Matangi and Kamala reside inside the primary temple whereas another seven reside in individual temples. It?s an important pilgrimage place to go for general Hindu especially for Tantric worshipers and to seek cure from Black Magic. What is the Puja that is done to remove Black Magic: Sadhu Agorhi?s who reside near the temple perform Puja and rituals to cure individuals from Black magic. These Sadhus?s can be found in and around the temple premise. Why the Kamakhya Temple so special? In ancient times Kamakhya was the place of Tantrikism and Black Magic cure (Still this is followed). It is also most likely that this is an ancient Khasi sacrificial site. This is also the only temple where ten Mahavidyas reside together. Kamakhya devi is famous as the bleeding goddess. The mythical womb and vagina of Shakti are supposedly installed in the 'Garvagriha' or sanctum of the temple. In the month of Ashaad (June), the goddess bleeds or menstruates. At this time, the Brahmaputra river near Kamakhya turns red. The temple then remains closed for 3 days and holy water is distributed among the devotees of Kamakhya devi. There is no scientific proof that the blood actually turns the river red. Some people say that the priests pour vermilion into the waters. But symbolically, menstruation is the symbol of a woman's creativity and power to give birth. So, the deity and temple of Kamakhya celebrates this 'shakti' or power within every woman.
