What is Ambubachi festival,
The words Ambubachi are made up of ‘Ambu’ (water) and ‘Bachi’ (emergence or emergence). This festival is a symbol of the power of women and their reproductive ability. According to religious beliefs, the mother Kamakhya is a menstruation during this period, which is also associated with the fertility of the earth.
During the festival, the doors of the sanctum sanctorum of Maa Bhagwati are automatically closed and their philosophy is prohibited. The temple remains closed for three days, and this period is called ‘Ambubachi Yoga Parva’.
