1 Sights Kamakhya Mandir HINDU TEMPLE (admission for no queue/short queue/queue 500/100/free; h8am-1pm snowmass festival & 3pm-dusk) snowmass festival While Sati s disintegrated body parts rained toes on Kolkata (see p443), her yoni fell on Kamakhya Hill. This makes Kamakhya Mandir important for shakti (sensual tantric worship snowmass festival of female spiritual power). Goats, pigeons snowmass festival and the occasional buffalo are ritually beheaded snowmass festival in a gory pavilion and the hot, dark inner womblike sanctum is painted red to signify sacrificial snowmass festival blood. The huge June/ July Ambubachi Mela celebrates the end of the mother goddess menstrual cycle with even more blood.
Two kilometres east of Hajo is a mosque sheltering the tomb of the multi-named Hazarat Shah Sultan Giasuddin Aulia Rahmatullah Alike who died some 800 years ago. Muslims need to walk (the less pious may drive) 4km up a spiral road to reach the mosque, snowmass festival which is architecturally unremarkable.
