Why to visit Kamakshi Aman Temple

Southern India is famed for its rich cultural heritage, and the Kamakshi Amman Temple is a historical treasure. The holy Goddess Kamakshi, who is believed to be an incarnation of Parvati, the Hindu goddess of love, fertility, and power, is worshipped here at Kanchipuram, also known as the City of Temples.

The Kamakshi Amman temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, or sacred shrines erected around the bodily pieces of Goddess Sati that fell from heaven. The naval section of her corpse is thought to have fallen at this location, making it a holy habitation.

Shaktism is based on a Hindu religion that emphasises Goddess worship. The letter 'Ka' stands for Saraswati (the Goddess of knowledge and wisdom),'ma' stands for Lakshmi (the Goddess of wealth and prosperity), and 'akshi' stands for gracious eyes in the name Kamakshi. These three Hindu Goddesses, also known as Devis, represent the holy trinity of the universe's female transcendental force.
