Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday offered prayers at Kamakhya temple in Guwahati.
Shah arrived at the temple nestled atop picturesque Nilachal Hills from the PWD Inspection Bungalow at Amingaon around 10 am.
Shah was accompanied by Assam chief minister Sarbanand Sonowal and finance minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The home minister, however, entered the sanctum sanctorum of the temple with just three ”Dolois” or priests, as Sonowal and Sarma waited near its gate.
He also undertook a ”parikrama” (circumambulation) around the shrine, the senior official added.
Took blessings at Maa Kamakhya Devi temple and prayed for the wellbeing and prosperity of our citizens.
