Then after this the temple will be opened for the devotees to visit and the devotees will be able to have darshan and worship of the Mother Goddess. In the sanctum sanctorum of this temple, no idol is worshipped, but a vagina shaped stone is worshipped, from which water keeps flowing. Before the beginning of the Ambubachi fair, the priest places white Angavastra near the stone in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple.

Then the doors of the temple are closed. It is believed that at the time of Goddess’s rest, the world receives new energy. During this time the water of Brahmaputra river also becomes red in colour.
