The goddess Kamakshee is the form of Parvati and Tripura Sundari (another form of Parvati). The main abode of Kamakshi is the Kamakshi Amman temple at Kanchipuram. Other important forms of goddes. Her consort is Shiva. The main temples of Kamakshi Devi in Goa are the Kamakshi Rayeshwar temple at Shiroda.

Goddess Kamakshi is considered to be the representation of Shri Vidya - Shri Lalita Maha Tripurasundari - she reigns supreme in Kanchi. The image of the goddess has been carved out of a Salagrama shila and the Meru in the temple is also made of Salagrama, believed to be consecrated by sage Durvasa, one of the renowned Shrividya upasakas. Kanchi is one of the most powerful pithas. Many literary and devotional musical compositions have been dedicated to Goddess Kamakshi.

As per Sri Adi Shankarcharyya,for the Bhurivar Subsect of the dasnami sampradaya of the hindu monks having titles Bharati and Puri, the chosen deity is Kamakshi. So those who think that Kanchi math was not established by Sri Adi Shankaracharyya are probably mistaken.

Shri Kamakshi and Tripura Sundari

While to many westerners it might seem that Kamakshi must be different from Tripura Sundari (Parvati) as they appear to have different names. However, in the Hindu pantheon, the "names" of the deities are more descriptions than names. Tripura Sundari, like many of the forms of the supreme, has 1000 names assigned to her and these can be found in the Lalita sahasranama text. One of the names in this text is "Kamakshi" which means "She whose eyes awaken desire, or She who has beautiful eyes".The word Kamakshi could also be split as 'ka' 'ma' and 'akshi' . Where 'akshi' in Sanskrit means eyes, the letter ka denotes goddess Kali Parvati and 'ma' denotes goddess Matangi which is also Parvati. Thus Kamakshi is Parvati and it is enough if she merely glances at her devotees, not even lifting her hand in benediction, the devotee is sure to receive all that he prays for.

Shri Kamakshi Temple, Goa

Shri Kamakshi temple located at Shiroda was built in the late 16th century built . The other shrines in the temple complex are that of Shree Shantadurga, Shree Laxmi Narayana and Shree Rayeshwar.
