The Kamakhya Temple, a prominent Shakti Peetha situated on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, Assam, is linked to the legend of Narakasura. The story narrates Narakasura's desire to marry Goddess Kamakhya. She challenged him to build a stairway from the base of the hill to the temple in a single night. Despite his efforts, he couldn't complete the task before dawn, as the goddess is said to have used her powers to make a cock crow prematurely. The incomplete stairway is believed to be a testament to this legend.
