Narakasur constructed the stone steps connecting to which temple within a single night? [#2428]

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.

While various traditional theatrical forms existed in Assam, the Yatra Party is considered the most direct precursor to mobile theatre. Yatra parties were traveling troupes that performed plays, often based on mythological or historical themes, for audiences in different locations. This tradition of traveling performance troupes laid the groundwork for the development of mobile theatre, which adopted and modernized this concept. While Ankia Nat and Bhaona contributed to Assamese theatrical traditions, they weren't traveling troupes in the same way as the Yatra and thus not the direct predecessor of mobile theatre's format.
