The Divine Story of Goddess Kamakshi
According to sacred legend, Kamakshi Devi is none other than Tripura Sundari, the supreme goddess who once took a fierce form to destroy the demons Bhandasura and his army. After the battle, she came to Kanchipuram and performed deep penance to reunite with Lord Shiva.
• She created a Shiva lingam out of sand on the banks of the Vegavathi River and sat in meditation beneath a mango tree.
• As her tapas grew stronger, Lord Shiva tested her by sending floods and heat, but she remained unmoved.
• Pleased with her unwavering devotion, Shiva appeared before her and accepted her as his consort, merging with her as Ekambareswarar.
From this sacred union emerged Kamakshi, the goddess whose name means "She of Loving Eyes." Her divine glance is said to bless devotees with fertility, peace, wealth, and moksha. Worshipping this Golu doll form of Kamakshi during Navaratri invites her loving grace into one’s home and heart.
