The only surviving Vamachara Shakta Tantra Tradition in its purest form
Specific elements of the Kulachara Tantra Marga practiced at Kamakhya are not disclosed to the public. Initiation (Diksha) under the Guru of the lineage is the primary criteria for becoming a Kaul (eligible member).
The Kulacara Tantra Marga of Kamakhya has evolved under the Vamachara Tantra as a unique tantra tradition and taken shape as a unique Shakta tradition and is the only surviving Tantra Marga in the world in its purest form. The Kulacara Tantra Marga of Kamakhya which is also called as Yogini Kaula is a complex mixture of Hindu, Buddhists and contribution of practitioners of various streams of Tantrism influenced by indigenous Tibeto-Mongoloid, Austro-Asiatic, Tibeto-Burman, Chino-Tibetian, Dravidian elements for thousands of years. The Kulachara Tantra Marga and the lineage (Kula) is confined only to Kamakhya.
The teachings, rituals and techniques of the Kulacara Tantra Marga of Kamakhya have been very carefully kept as guarded secret by the Sadhakas till date. The tradition runs through the system of Guru-Shishya Parampara (teacher-student tradition) and most of the knowledge and technique is passed down orally to an initiate by the Diksha Guru and/or Siksha Guru (teacher).
The Dasa Mahavidyas (Ten Great Wisdom Goddesses) are a group of ten tantric goddesses central to the Shakta tradition. The Kamakhya Temples’ Complex is the only sacred site where all ten Dasa Mahavidyas have their temples and peethas located adjacent to each other.
