Very few people know the real story of how Goddess Parvati became Kamakshi in Kanchipuram. She prayed under a mango tree by the Vegavati River, holding a sand lingam with her own hands when the waters rose. God Shiva appeared and accepted her again as his bride. But the story did not end there. In Kanchi, she became Adi Shakti, destroyed the demon Bhandasura, and has since been worshipped as Goddess Kamakshi, the one Mother of the city.
