We did a quick walk around the Kanchi Kamakshi Ambal Devasthanam. This Kanchipuram temple is dedicated to Kamakshi who is said to be a form of the Hindu Goddess Parvati. The temple was beautiful and it had a lot of work that was done in gold which glittered in the sunlight.

There are numerous temples that are present in Kanchipuram. In fact, Kanchipuram is one of the temple cities in India and people frequently go there as a form of pilgrimage.
