Guwahati, May 26 -- Thousands of devotees offered prayers at Kamakhya Devi temple in Assam's Guwahati on Monday morning on the occasion of Somvati Amavasya.

Somvati Amavasya holds a special significance in Hinduism, wherein devotees perform bathing, charity, worship, and rituals for their ancestors.

Neeraj Pathak, who hails from Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal, expressed his happiness at visiting the Kamakhya Devi temple on Somvati Amavasya. "I feel very good. I am from Bhopal and it was a good Darshan."

Another devotee, Neelam Pathak, said, "I liked it very much; it was very relaxed."

Somvati Amavasya is dedicated to worshipping ancestors or forefathers, and hence, people are advised to use it to get rid of 'Pitru Dosha'.
