This temple of Goddess Kamakshi is situated right in the heart of Kanchipuram. According to a legend, Goddess Kamakshi lured Lord Shiva with her alluring eyes, which is why her name is Kamakshi, which means her eyes awaken desire’. Another meaning of the name shows the conjunction of three words, Ka, Ma, and Aksh, which means her eyes are Saraswati and Lakshmi. (Ka-Saraswati, Ma-Lakshmi, and Aksh-Eyes).
