Daksha,<br \/>\nthe son of Brahma performed a celestial \u201cYagna Kund\u201d and intentionally didn\u2019t<br \/>\ninvite his youngest daughter Sati and her husband Lord Shiva. Goddess Sati was<br \/>\nnot happy with her father\u2019s behaviour. Despite reservation from Lord Shiva, Sati<br \/>\nwent for the ceremony, but she felt insulted by her father. She couldn\u2019t tolerate<br \/>\nthe further insult and thus immolate herself in yagna fire. Upon hearing this<br \/>\nnews, Lord Shiva, in his wrath created Virabhadra and Bhadrakali. Along with<br \/>\nShiva\u2019s attendant \u2018bhootgana\u2019, Virabhadra marched to the kingdom of Daksha.<br \/>\nThey destroyed his Yagna and Virabhadra decapitated Daksha\u2019s head. Shiva\u2019s<br \/>\nanger later pacifies, and he forgave Daksha.

Shiva performed celestial<br \/>\ndance: \u2018Tandav\u2019; uncontrolled destruction everywhere. Thus Vishnu decided to<br \/>\nconsole Shiva, and to do so, he cut the body of Sati into 51 pieces (some say<br \/>\n108). The body pieces fell on the earth and place where it fell revered with the<br \/>\npower of Shakti. These places are worshipped by Hindu pilgrimage and called<br \/>\nShakti Peetha. And on the Neelanchal hill or Kamgiri, Maa Sati\u2019s Yoni (female<br \/>\ngenital) fell. Thus, since then people worship Maa Sati at Kamakhya temple. The<br \/>\nsanctum of the temple is below the ground level and the idol is consists of a<br \/>\nrock with a fissure representing a female genital.

Khasis and Garos belong to<br \/>\nIndo-Mongoloid, an admixture of both Aryan and non-Aryan blood, living in the<br \/>\nhills of northeast India. These tribes were worshipers of Shiva. The cult of the mother goddess worshipped in the Yoni symbol is opposed to Shiva. Thus, Nilachal<br \/>\nhills must have belonged to matriarchal tribes and were later adopted by Khasis<br \/>\nand Garos.

Later with the Aryan invasion, such practices were inculcated in<br \/>\nAryan culture and later formed an important sect in Hinduism. Hinduism<br \/>\nflourished in north-eastern India via royal patronage.

The practice of animal and bird sacrifice which has<br \/>\nbeen going on since ancient times continues in this temple even today but then<br \/>\nthis should be stopped in the Kamakhya temple because the mother never wants to<br \/>\nsacrifice any innocent living.<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 115%\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%\">The modern temple of Kamakhya has a lineage to<br \/>\nVishwa Singha who found the ruins of the ancient temple and later his son Nara<br \/>\nNarayan built it during his reign.

The religious rituals act<br \/>\nhere is unique and different from other places such as the ritualistic bath of<br \/>\nthe deity (Pithasthan\/shaktipeeth). There is a traditional practice of offering<br \/>\nsacrifices in which pigeons, buffaloes, fishes, goats, sugarcanes, gourds, and<br \/>\npumpkins are sacrificed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;margin-left: 0in;margin-right: 0in;margin-top: 6.0pt;margin: 6pt 0in;text-align: justify\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: transparent;text-align: left\"><span style=\"line-height: 18.4px\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #6fa8dc;font-size: medium;font-weight: bold\">Kumari Puja &#8211;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"background: white;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;margin-left: 0in;margin-right: 0in;margin-top: 6.0pt;margin: 6pt 0in;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent;font-size: medium\">It means worship of a virgin<br \/>\ngirl which occupies a prominence without which honour to Maa Sakti is not<br \/>\ncomplete.
