Picture Gallery of Kanchipuram Kamakshi Amman Temple.

Kamakshi Amman Temple is dedicated to Goddess Parvati in the form of Kamakshi.

The Madurai Meenakshi Temple, the Thiruvanaikaval Akilandeswari temple and the Kanchipuram Kamakshi Temple are the important places of worship of Goddess Parvathi as the Mother in Tamilnadu.

The main deity of Goddess Kamakshi is seen in Padmasana, a yogic posture signifying peace and prosperity at this temple. In other temples the Goddess is in a standing position. This is the only temple of Goddess Parvati in the temple town of Kanchipuram with thousands of temples, which is surprising. There are many believes associated with this.
