Both The temple and crowds are well managed by the administration. The queues are there but they are very coordinated. It definitely takes more than a few hours if one stands in the general queue. The VIP passes ( 500/-per head) are released every few hours so that the insides of the main temple don't get too crowded. Only issue are the pandits who are everywhere inside the main complex and almost shame / bully you into parting with money. The devotees don't get more than few seconds to bow in front of the main deity and they are pushed ahead ...which is understandable as there are thousands waiting in queue.

Kamakhya Temple sits on a hill and is dedicated to the goddess Kamakhya. The hill's view adds to the beauty. Crowds, especially during festivals, can be overwhelming. The rituals are fascinating, but some maintenance could improve. They also serve free food at certain times. It's a peaceful place for self-reflection.
