According to the Best Tantrik in India, our traditional Maha Ambubachi Mela perpetuates the connection of the human mind with spiritual thought and consciousness. The Ambubachi Mela, celebrated at Shaktipetha Maa Kamakhya Devi Temple, will promote and bless national unity among the people of the state. I hope this hope brings happiness, peace, and well-being to everyone’s life.
“Om Kamakhye Barade Devi Nilparvat Vasini,
Twang Devi Jagatang Mat: Yonimudra Namastute.”
The Ambubachi festival marks the closure of the shrine’s doors for visitors from the seventh to the tenth day of the Hindu month of “Asadha.” During this time, devotees believe Goddess Kamakhya undergoes her yearly menstrual cycle.
According to the Best Tantrik in India, “Ambubachi” literally translates to “spoken with water,” and it also suggests that the soil is fertile and prepared for reproduction because of the rains this month. During this time, there is no daily worship. This regulation prohibits all agricultural activities, including digging, plowing, planting, and transplanting crops. During these days, widows, Brahmacharis, and Brahmins refrain from eating cooked food. On the fourth day, after Ambubachi concludes, devotees wash, clean, and purify household objects, utensils, and clothing by sprinkling them with holy water. This marks an auspicious time to enter the shrine.
Thus, the origin of the concept of Ambubachi includes formative influences and components of agricultural, social, and religious beliefs that have helped the phenomenon evolve. As a result, it has religious support, which is symbolic.
