government in Assam is planning to construct a corridor at the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati on the lines of the Kashi-Vishwanath Temple Corridor in Varanasi
The project will transform the grandeur of this major ‘shakti peeth’ significantly while also improving the accessibility for differently abled and aged devotees and tourists manifold
The cumulative open space around the temple will increase from 3000 sq ft at present to approximately 100,000 sq ft, spread over three levels. The average width of the access corridor would increase from its current width of 8-10 feet to approximately 27-30 feet, the official informed.
Six major temples in the complex, which are currently hidden from the larger public view, would be restored to their original glory. The project will also create a holding capacity for approximately 8,000-10,000 pilgrims to ease the burden during Ambubachi Mela and other major festivals.
