Devotees travel to this temple most visibly during the holy Ambubachi Mela when the goddess is believed to experience her menstrual cycle. Inside the temple&#8217;s holy chamber, the worshippers find no idol but a stone shaped like a yoni because it symbolizes female power together with fertility.<\/p>\n<p>Pilgrims and scholars visit this divine place because the temple combines tantric religion with spiritual worship. Shiva temple stands out through its historic structures alongside its colorful red domes and its traditional tantric religious heritage for feminine deity devotions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
