Sri Kamakshi Amman temple is dedicated to Goddess Kamakshi Devi, an avatar of goddess Parvati Devi. In the “Mandapam Gayatri”, the shrine is located under the gold-plated vimana and is supported by 24 pillars that coordinate with the 24 words of “Mantra Gayatri”.
The deity of the temple is in a position to hold a cane, a bow, a bow of sugar cane and arrows of flowers in her hands. A temple sanctuary is dedicated to Adi Sankaracharya, who placed a chakra in front of the deity.
A mango tree is located outside the main temple and is considered the place where Kamakshi worshiped a sand Shivalingam and won Lord Shiva’s hand in marriage.
In February or March, the famous car festival is celebrated on this site. During this car festival, the goddess is transported in procession throughout the town.
