Kamakhya Deeksha is received to get the boons from Goddess Kamakhya. The Kalika Purana, an ancient Sanskrit text, presents Kamakhya as the yielder of all desires, Shiva's young wife, and the provider of deliverance.
Shakti is known as Kamakhya. Tantra is central to worship at this ancient temple dedicated to the mother goddess Kamakhya.
The goddess is worshipped in two ways: vamachara ("left-hand path") and dakshinachara ("right-hand path").
According to the Kalika Purana, the Kamakhya Temple represents the location where Sati used to retreat in secret for a sexual union with Shiva, as well as the location where her yoni (genitals and womb) fell following Shiva's tandav (dance of destruction) with Sati's body.
The Hindu scripture Kalika Purana mentions Kamakhya's imagery. She has twelve arms and six heads in various colors, including white, red, yellow, green, black, and colorful. Each head indicates a distinct approach to her along the Upasana path.
She is dressed in rich jewelry and crimson flowers, such as hibiscus. She has ten hands, each holding a lotus, trident, sword, bell, discus, bow, arrows, club or scepter, goad, and shield. Her remaining two hands are holding a bowl made of either gold or a skull.
She is seated on a lotus, representing Brahma, directly on top of Sweta Preta, or a White Corpse, representing Shiva, who is in turn atop a lion, representing Vishnu.
