GUWAHATI:
Amid wide participation of devotees, mostly from outside the state, the much-awaited Ambubachi Mela kicked off on Friday. Like previous years, this year too, very few devotees and visitors from Assam have come to the Kamakhya temple premises on the first day of the festival.
With over two lakh worshippers thronging shakti shrine in Kamakhya on the first day itself, the Ambubachi festival organizing committee will have to provide accommodation to the lakhs of devotees, visitors and sanyasis, who are living in camps under the open sky.
