Symbolizing the sovereignty of nature, Kamakshi Devi is described as the Supreme Goddess of Tranquility and Beauty. Also referred to as Kamakshi Amman, the Goddess is observed as a form of Maa Parvati or Goddess Shakti. She is viewed as a manifestation of Goddess Tripura Sundari Devi or the universal mother goddess. As Lord Shiva’s consort, she is revered as Kamakshi in Southern India and Kamakhaya in East India. Her name suggests ‘the desirable one’ or if you literally translate, it is ‘one whose eyes are full of desire’.
