Story of Guwahati Maa Kamakhya Devi Temple

Guwahati Maa Kamakhya Devi Temple was built during the medieval period. Koch Raja Biswa Singh got the temple rebuilt in 1553-54. Later Kalapahad, a Muslim invader of Gaur destroyed the temple. Thereafter the great Koch Raja Naranarayan, the successor of Raja Biswa Singha, along with his brother Chilarai, inspected the place and found it in complete ruins. Narayan renovated the temple in 1565 and gave royal patronage to the temple.

In the beginning of the 17th century, the Ahoms built Maa Kamakhya Devi Temple with various types of stones, which is evidenced by the inscriptions and copper plates of the temple. Due to an earthquake in 1897 AD, the main temple was badly damaged. The temple was repaired several times. The temple received royal patronage from various kings.
