Postcard from Heaven

Posted by Babul Bhatt (Bombay, India) on 3 December 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Kamakshi Amman Temple

It is located in the historic city Kanchipuram, near Chennai, India. This is one of the three holy places of Sakthi worship in India. This temple is deicated to Parvati, “goddess with the eyes of love”, who playfully blindfolded her consort Shiva and had to do penance for her mischievousness. Parvati was eventually forgiven by him at the spot where the temple rose.

Legend has it that Kamakshi offered worship to a Shivalingam made out of sand, under a mango tree and gained Shiva's hand in marriage.
