Tanishaa Mukerji Seeks Blessings at Assam’s Kamakhya During Navratri

With Chaitra Navratri’s joyous commencement gripping the nation Thursday, actress Tanishaa Mukerji found spiritual solace at Assam’s Kamakhya Devi Temple. Her Instagram chronicle of the trip alongside buddies Swati and Harish offers an intimate peek into faith’s embrace, sans the glitz.

Saree-clad and au naturel, the friends shine in temple shots. ‘Shri Kamakhya brought profound peace and delight,’ Tanishaa posted. ‘The ethereal draw here is unmatched. Twice entering the garbhagriha for darshan, meditation, and rituals uplifted our spirits immensely.’

Drama ensued with a close call on the last ferry to Umanand Temple, Peacock Island’s crown. ‘Umanand embodies Kamakhya’s Kalbhairav; skipping it leaves the journey incomplete,’ she asserted. The resplendent Shivling and pervasive spiritual vibe endure in memory, indoor no-photo policy aside.

She extolled India’s divine legacy for its humbling fortune. Guwahati’s Nilachal-based Kamakhya, a top 51 Shakti Peeth and ancient tantric center (8th-9th century), reveres Sati’s yoni as a natural rock. Ambubachi Mela in June honors the goddess’s ‘rjaswala’ phase uniquely.

Brahmaputra’s Umanand on Bhismachal immortalizes Shiva’s bhasma of Kamdev, famed for tantra and tranquility. Tanishaa’s odyssey highlights these sites’ magnetic pull, blending celebrity insight with timeless devotion to inspire broader pilgrimage pursuits.
