Guwahati: Thousands of pilgrims have flocked to Kamakhya temple in Guwahati from all corners of India to celebrate the annual historic Ambubachi mela which commenced on Thursday.

As the four-day festivities begin to celebrate the sacred event, the Assam government has made arrangements of accommodating pilgrims.

The Kamakhya temple, the epicenter of the Ambubachi Mela, stood majestically atop the Nilachal Hill, beckoning the faithful.

Pilgrims clad in vibrant traditional attire make their way up the Nilachal Hill, carrying their hopes, prayers, and reverence. The fragrance of incense and the melodies of devotional songs fill the air, creating an ambience charged with divinity.

As the Ambubachi Mela continues to unfold over the next few days, the city of Guwahati remains a magnet for the faithful, drawing them closer to their spiritual beliefs and allowing them to experience the profound sense.
