Pilgrimages and Temples of Devi Tara

►

Kamrup Kamakhya Temple is a famous place of Tantra practice and is identified with the Kamagiri Shakti Peetha mentioned in the Peetha Nirnaya Tantra. This kshetra is also known as Kubjika Peetha and Mahamudra Peetha. The place is known as Kamrup because Kamadeva who was reduced to ashes by Lord Shiva, again regained his form in this place by the grace of the Goddess (Kalika Purana). It is said that Devi is difficult to be found in other places, but in Kamarup, Devi abides in many houses (Yogini Tantra).
