Kecaikhati

Kecaikhati

Kecaikhati is a prominent goddess from Northeast India. Her main shrine is considered to be the Tamreswari Temple, near Paya Reserve forest area in Arunachal Pradesh, next to Chunpura, close to Assam border along Sadiya - Tezu route; and she is referred to as Dikkaravasini in the 9th century Kalika Purana whose temple formed the eastern limit of Kamarupa. Unlike Kamakhya and Kamakhya Temple, which acquired Brahmin priests and became associated with the legendary Narakasura and the historical Kamarupa kings, Kecaikhati continued to remain outside the ambit of Brahminical influence and remained under the control of Deori priests during the time of the Chutia kingdom and after up to the present time.
