English ((full)): Kamakshi Virutham In
The main shrine of Kamakshi is located in Kanchipuram (the "Golden City of Temples"). Unlike the fearsome forms of Kali or the distant form of Durga, Kamakshi is depicted as a serene, seated Goddess holding a sugarcane bow (representing the mind), flower arrows (representing the five senses), a noose (representing attachment), and a goad (representing discipline). She sits on a lotus, with a parrot (representing the soul) near her.
To her surprise, the beggar disappeared, and in his place stood Lord Shiva Himself. He was pleased with Kamakshi's selflessness and declared that her eyes would be restored. He also granted her a boon that her beauty would captivate the hearts of all who laid eyes on her. kamakshi virutham in english
