The Kamakhya darshan page is the most honest in our set — because the temple’s own site is partially unreachable. What’s official: no photography inside the temples; rituals only by hereditary Shebait priests; the Raktavastra distribution system during Ambubachi.
What’s reported: morning darshan 5:30 AM–1:00 PM, an afternoon/evening session to ~5:30 PM, dedicated senior arrangements (HC-adjacent claims), and VIP-pass schemes sold by third parties whose official status is unverified. Checked 02 October 2026.
