Assam Governor Acharya offers prayers at Kamakhya Temple post-Ambubachi Mela, seeks divine strength for PM Modi's Viksit Bharat vision.

"I prayed that we become Viksit Bharat soon. Maa Kamakhya gives 'shakti' to PM Modi. – Lakshman Prasad Acharya"

Guwahati, June 26

Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya, along with his wife, visited the Kamakhya Temple on Thursday morning and offered prayers to Goddess Kamakhya as the temple reopened for devotees after the Nivriti of the Ambubachi Mela.

A large number of devotees also thronged the historic Kamakhya Temple as it reopened for public darshan following the conclusion of Mela.

Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya said he prayed for a Viksit Bharat and for strength to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to continue the nation's development journey.

Speaking to the reporters, Lakshman Prasad Acharya said, "I prayed that we become Viksit Bharat soon. The arrangements have been done properly to facilitate smooth darshan for devotees. I also prayed that Maa Kamakhya gives 'shakti' to PM Modi, who is engaged in further developing the country."

The annual event commemorates the yearly menstruation cycle of Goddess Kamakhya, believed to be the embodiment of feminine power.

Ambubachi Mela takes place during the monsoon season, specifically in the Assamese month of Ahaar, around the middle of June.

After conducting Ambubachi Prabritti rituals, the main door of the Kamakhya temple closed on 22nd June and will reopen on June 26. It is one of the most revered centres of Tantric practices and is regarded as one of the oldest of the 51 Shakti Peethas in India.

The annual Ambubachi Mela, one of Assam's most revered Hindu festivals, commenced on Sunday at the historic Kamakhya Temple atop the Nilachal Hills in Guwahati. The event began with traditional rituals, marking the start of the four-day-long celebration that draws devotees from across India and abroad.

According to the government of Assam website, the Kamakhya temple, 7 km from Guwahati, is one of the largest Shakti shrines in the country. Situated on the Nilachal hills, it is an important pilgrimage centre for tantric worshippers and Hindus.

Several other pujas are organised in this temple, including Durga Puja, Durgadeul and Madandeul. Some of the other pujas performed in this temple include Manasa Puja, Pohan Biya and Vasanti Puja.

While I appreciate the Governor's devotion, I hope such visits also translate to concrete development work for Assam. Our beautiful state needs more than just prayers - we need infrastructure, jobs and better healthcare facilities.

As someone from Assam, I'm proud to see our Kamakhya Temple getting national attention. But wish the media would focus more on the cultural aspects rather than just political figures visiting. The temple's history and traditions are fascinating!

The concept of Viksit Bharat needs more than prayers - it needs action from all of us. While spiritual support is important, let's not forget our responsibilities as citizens to contribute to nation building.

Beautiful to see our traditions being honored! The Kamakhya Temple is truly special - visited last year and felt such positive energy. Hope the arrangements for devotees continue to improve each year. More facilities for elderly visitors would be great.
