4-day Ambubachi Mahayog begins amid safety measures, lower footfall
1 2 3 Guwahati: Four-day Ambubachi Mahayog, one of Assam's most significant religious gatherings, started on Sunday at the Kamakhya Temple. As the temple doors closed at 2:56pm to mark the onset of the Goddess Kamakhya's annual menstrual seclusion, thousands of devotees and ascetics gathered across the temple complex and surrounding Nilachal Hills to seek her blessings. Though the event usually attracts lakhs of pilgrims from states like Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar — with turnout exceeding 20 lakh in the last two years — authorities expect a lower footfall this year. "We estimate around two lakh pilgrims have arrived so far," said head priest Kabindra Prasad Sarma. "However, attendance may drop this time, partly due to reduced visiting hours. Previously, darshan was allowed from 5am to 8pm, but this year it ends at 6pm." Sarma also pointed to efforts to minimise overcrowding and maintain order as other factors behind the expected decline in numbers of visitors. To ensure pilgrim safety, the district administration has shortened visiting hours, citing concerns over landslide risks in the Nilachal Hills. The newly constructed alternate route to the temple via Pandu College Road has also been closed after multiple landslides during recent heavy rainfall. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Authorities are coordinating with Guwahati Police and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) to oversee the smooth and secure conduct of the event. Despite the anticipated dip, preparations remain robust. Four major camps have been set up at Kamakhya Temple, Basistha Temple, Pandu Port, and Naharbari to host the pilgrims. Medical camps have been stationed along key foothill paths, while community kitchens in Pandu, Maligaon, and Adabari are offering free meals to devotees and visiting sadhus. The temple gates will reopen at 3:19am on Thursday, marking the end of the Goddess's seclusion and the conclusion of the Ambubachi Mahayog.

Devotees arrive at Nilachal Hills for Ambubachi mahayog
1 2 Guwahati: As the Ambubachi Mahayog, the annual spiritual congregation, begins on Sunday, thousands of devotees from across the country have started arriving at the Nilachal Hills, home to the ancient Kamakhya Temple. The four-day festival marks the annual menstruation cycle of the goddess Kamakhya, making it one of the most significant spiritual gatherings in the northeastern state. Kabindra Prasad Sarma, bor doloi (head priest) of the temple, said the Mahayog is scheduled to commence at 2:56 pm on Sunday and will conclude at 3:00 am on June 26. The areas of Bharalu, Bhutnath, Maligaon, and Adabari are already witnessing a massive influx of devotees who have begun arriving from Rajasthan, Bihar, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh, settling there ahead of the Mahayog. Temporary tents and bhandaras (community kitchens) have been set up in these localities to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims. The streets and open spaces in these areas are brimming with activity as the crowd continues to swell with each passing hour, indicating the scale of participation this year. While some have consistently run community kitchens over the years, this year many have stepped up for the first time, claiming they are inspired by the spirit of service during the Ambubachi. "This is the first time we opened a stall, where we will be serving food and water to the pilgrims. We pooled in the necessary resources and got our tent registered at the district administration's office," said Anuvaa Dutta, a resident from Adabari. Meanwhile, Bishwajit Paul, a resident of Pandu who sets up a community kitchen near Pandu Port, said they usually begin operations on the day of the Mahayog. However, due to the overwhelming crowd this year, they were compelled to open a day in advance. "Earlier, tents used to be set up at both Pandu Port and the Kamakhya Railway Station, but this time, the majority of devotees are staying in tents erected on the port premises itself. So, we had to open the gates today. Starting Sunday, we will be serving three meals a day, along with drinks and snacks," he said. Paul also added that the cost of running the community kitchen is very high, as last year, their daily expenditure went up to Rs 1.20 lakh, and this time, they are expecting it to rise even further.

6k tickets cancelled, Kedarnath choppers to be grounded till Sept 15
Dehradun: Chopper operations to Kedarnath remained suspended for the seventh straight day on Saturday after a crash killed seven people on June 15, grounding eight operators, cancelling thousands of bookings and causing financial losses over Rs 4 crore in Rudraprayag district. Sources said helicopter services are expected to resume only around Sept 15, after the end of the monsoon season. District tourism officer Rahul Chaubey said no bookings were made beyond June 22 due to the halt, which was initiated in the wake of monsoon and pending safety directives. Chaubey, who also oversees helicopter services on the Kedarnath route, said, "Around 900 tickets are being cancelled each day as the choppers are not operating since June 15, which means anything between 5,400 to 6,000 tickets have been cancelled in this duration. We are waiting for instructions from U ttarakhand Civil Aviation Development Authority (UCADA) before proceeding any further." Since the Kedarnath yatra began, 56,044 pilgrims have taken helicopter rides from Guptkashi, Sirsi and Phata, while 54,209 have returned from Kedarnath to these helipads.
