This time of the year in Assam, thousands of pilgrims from across India and the world converge at the revered Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati for Ambubachi Mela - one of the most significant spiritual gatherings in India.

Ambubachi Mela is not just a fair or a festival, it is also a celebration of womanhood.
