About Ambubachi Mela 2026
As the festival is set to begin this month, the temple management is likely to witness large crowds at the temple premises to offer prayers and seek blessings. The mela is particularly known for attracting Tantric practitioners, making it a unique spiritual event in the country. During the festival, the main gate of the temple where the deity resides closes, as it is believed that during that time the deity menstruates. This year, the auspicious festival will begin on June 22 at 9:08 PM and it will conclude on June 26, 2026, after the special puja in the temple premises.
Kamakhya Temple: A Shakti Peethas Shrine
Held atop the Nilachal Hills, the Kamakhya Temple is one of the most important Shakti Peethas in Hinduism. The Ambubachi Mela marks the annual menstruation cycle of Goddess Kamakhya and celebrates fertility, womanhood, and the creative power of nature. During this period, the temple remains closed for a few days, symbolising the Goddess's seclusion.
