The Ambubachi Mela, a Hindu festival at the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati, Assam, marks the celebration of the divine feminine during the monsoon season. The festival, from June 22 to 26, involves the temple's closure to honor the goddess Kamakhya's menstrual cycle. Kamakhya, revered as the goddess of desire, draws countless devotees to the temple annually. A personal journey to the temple reflects the belief that visiting a deity requires a divine calling, emphasizing humility and patience in spiritual matters.
