Absence of an Idol

 Absence of an Idol

Unlike most Hindu temples where idols of deities are worshipped, Kamakhya Temple stands out due to the absence of a conventional idol. Instead, the temple's main deity is worshipped as the yoni, which symbolizes the female reproductive organ. This absence of a traditional idol makes Kamakhya Temple unique and distinct from other Hindu temples.

The yoni, representing the divine feminine energy, is the focal point of devotion and worship at Kamakhya Temple. It is respected as the source of creation and the embodiment of Goddess Kamakhya's power. Devotees offer prayers and rituals to the yoni seeking blessings for fertility, prosperity, and protection. The worship of the yoni highlights the significance of femininity and the divine aspects of creation in Hindu spirituality.
