Subject: DAD Webinar Season 02, Episode - 04, on 9th July 2022 - Reg.

Dear Sir / Madam,

As you are aware that Ministry of Tourism organizes Dekho Apna Desh Webinar sessions under various schemes and topics every Saturday. On coming Saturday 9th July 2022 at 1100 hrs, we are going to present DAD  Season 02, Episode No. 04 on topic, "Kamakhya Walks and Spiritual Tourism in Assam". Sitting atop the Nilachal Hill, by the banks of the Brahmaputra river, the majestic Kamakhya Temple is an iconic landmark in Guwahati. One of the oldest temples in the city, it is said to be dating back to the 8th century. Dedicated to mother goddess Kamakhya, the temple has four chambers: a garbha griha (sanctum sanctorum), which is a cave under the ground level that houses a rock fissure instead of an idol, and three mandapas (outdoor halls) known as calanta, pancharatna and natamandira. The current temple structure has been built by the Ahom kings. One of the classic features is the shikhara (spire) that looks like a beehive of sculpted panels and images of Hindu gods and goddesses.

Counted among the most sacred shaktipeethas (devotional shrines where the severed body parts of Goddess Sati fell), the temple is believed to be the place where the womb of the goddess fell. Thus, it is also synonymous with supreme female power and fertility. Thousands of devotees visit the temple every year, especially during the Ambubachi Mela in June.

The Speakers of the day are : 

Mr. Prasenjit Sharma – 10 years experience in the travel industry, leading heritage walks, multi-day tours across India and Nepal, and as a motorcycle road captain in the Himalayas. Founder of Six Degree Adventures in 2017 promoting sustainable travel experiences in Northeast India.  Avid motorcyclist and always looking out for new adventures and experiences.

Mr. Ritwick Ghosh - Tourist Facilitator, authorized by the Government of India - Ministry of Tourism.  Walking tour leader. Leading car, coach and cruise tours in Bengal over a decade. Movie ‘Praktan' was more or less about his professional life. Presently associated with Kamakhya Walks with my dear buddy Prasenjit Sharma.
