DAY 10
In order to pay our obeisance to Maa Kamakhya we need to go to Nilachal Hills, a bit early in the morning to avoid the mad rush of the devotees. Devotees generally visit the temple on empty stomach. Post Darshan the day belongs to us. We can utilise the time either by shopping, to carry something for the near and dear ones(the famed Assam Silk, the tea ,the bell metal articles to cite a few)or taking a afternoon siesta –a pertinent feature of the Assamese Culture.
