In the mid-day I arrived to Guwahati. The capital of Assam province lies on huge Brahmaputra river. It has more then million inhabitants, crowded streets and interesting state museum. But the highligt of the place is Kamakhaya Mandir – the temple located on the hill above the city. It is dedicated to the first wife of lord Shiva – Sati. People come here to pray for fertility.
I spend more then an hour in this temple wandering around plocal people paying, offering, resting… There are also animals – nobody cares about them.
I had there a great time. Photographs are allowed. But if you want go inside the temple you have to buy a ticket (Like wealthy locals do) or stay for hours in the long line.
I have access to the internet – in Guwahati it costs 25 rs per hour. Tomorrow I plan to take a train to West Bengal Hills.
