India has three main cities where the Goddess Shakti is worshipped. Kanchipuram holds the most important rank among the three. In the same order, the three places are kanchipuram, where the Goddess Kamakshi is worshipped, Madurai, where the Goddess Meenakshi is whorshipped, and Kasi, where the deity is `visaalakshi`. The Kamakshi Amman Temple is the hub of all religious activities in Kanchipuram.
The main tower over the sanctum(Vimanam) of the temple is gold plated. Also of significance is the Golden Chariot in this temple. The Golden Chariot is taken in a procession around the temple on Friday evenings.
