The mythological truth is that during the Ambuvachi festival the mother Bhagwati is menstruating and blood flows from the place of water flow from Mahamudra (vagina-tirtha) in the womb of mother Bhagwati for three consecutive days.

Narakasur fascinated by the beauty of Kamakhya

It is a matter of ancient times that once a demon named Narakasura was fascinated by the beauty of Goddess Kamakhya, he started loving her, and then he wanted to marry mother Kamakhya Devi. But Goddess Kamakhya placed a condition before Narakasura to get rid of her. Devi told Narakasura that if she would be able to build stairs from Nilanchal mountain to the temple in one night only then she would marry him. Naraka accepted the condition of the goddess.

 When the goddess felt that Naraka would complete this task, she did a trick. Devi cocked a crow and asked him to give voice before dawn. When Narakasura felt that he had lost the condition imposed by the goddess, he was sad but when he came to know that he had been tricked, he ran to kill the chicken and gave it to him. The place where the chicken was sacrificed is known as Kukurakata. After that, Lord Vishnu killed Narakasura asura with the illusion of Mother Bhagwati.

After Narakasura's death, his son Bhagadatta became the king of Kamarupa. After the disappearance of Bhagadatta's dynasty, the Kamarupa kingdom was divided into small parts and the feudal king began to rule over Kamarupa. After the inferior works of Narakasura and the curse of the unique monk, the goddess was dissuaded and the iconic Kamakhya temple was destroyed by Kamadeva.
