About Our Worship

Even if you have been attending Hindu Goddess temples your entire life, no puja is quite like that offered at Kamakhya.

The tradition is beautifully unique and radically simple. We perform the elaborate Tantric puja, and invite you to participate as you are able, and then the pujari steps out of the way, and you have time to offer your worship directly and personally. As a devotee you are entitled to offer your worship directly to the Divine Mother.

We would like you to feel very welcome at our temple, whether you have been a Hindu your whole life, or even if you have never offered or experienced worship to the Mother Goddess before.

Our temple is a humble one, located in a small Victorian home in Alameda, California. Those who offer worship at our temple experience the full power of the Divine Mother.

Community devi aradhana and puja (glorification and worship of the Goddess) is offered once a month to Sri Sri Kamakhya and the Das Mahavidya, on the last Sunday of every month unless otherwise noted, as well as various major festivals and holy days, in addition to daily private worship. Please see our calendar for details.

If you are unable to attend a public puja you are welcome to schedule time for private darshan. We try to accommodate everyone as much as we are able.

We welcome all ages, including very young children – although be advised that there is no child care provided.
