No doubt the
Kamakhya premise has become a sensitive issue being Assam’s popular global
brand representation due to its Ambubachi Mela where tourist and devotees flow
in lakhs but its traditional nude and drug scenario of Naga Sadhus is also a
sight embarrassment which state authority has planned to delete it from the
main venue by arranging a different section for them.
This traditional
style of Sadhus might appear as a bizarre concept for some visiting Kamakhya
temple at the Nilachal peak point of Guwahati city. People initially may not
favorably have a good account of experience on Kamakhay visit during Ambubachi
Mela with encounter of Naga Sadhus’ open nudity and drug consumption display
concept.
But this ancient
temple dedicated to goddess Druga observes earth fertility moment once in a
year on June month as similar representation to female menstrual cycle which
not observed in any parts of the world as a holy ritual with such grandeur.
This makes this
five-day long annual state celebration ‘Ambubachi Mela’ of Kamakhya as a
special and the most auspicious moment for pilgrim visit among ritual Indian
followers. In this exchange of government’s interference with Sadhus may not
impact them as they are determined to follow their ritualistic ways. The reason
simply because they travel all the way from Himalaya to Nilachal Parbat Assam
to pay their obeisance to Goddess Druga and never follow normal human’s code of
conduct. This may trigger tense in the usual peaceful process of ‘Ambubachi Mela.’
