DeleteEverytime I visit Assam, I try to make one visit to Kamakhya and am always enamoured by its power to draw people from far and wide. Nice picture of its characteristic dome.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a beautiful place and the actual shrine inside the cave, gave me goosebumps!

बाहर उकेरी हुई मूर्तियां बड़ी ही आकर्षक बन पड़ी हैं.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this temple...I love how you have travelled so much :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chintan. In the northeast this temple is very famous. I had heard of it during my childhood, during my summer holidays in West Bengal..
DeleteYou are right, to be able to travel is a beautiful gift! :)
Wonder where has all the openness and maturity gone from our societies of today, where we pray in temples but shudder to talk about it in public.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately you are right. We have temples that denotre much greater openess in showing about such issues but for the society they have become taboo!
