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.

Moho-ho is a folk festival celebrated in Lower Assam, particularly in districts like Kamrup, Goalpara, Barpeta, Nalbari, and Darrang. Held during the full moon night of Agrahayana/Aghun (November-December), its main objective is to eliminate mosquitoes and other pests prevalent during that season. The name itself combines "moh" (mosquito) and "ho" (to drive away). The festival involves traditional dances, songs, and the burning of bamboo effigies symbolizing the pests, all contributing to a community effort to ward off these nuisances.
