Kamakshi Amman temple is one such temple that is dedicated to Hindu Goddess Kamakshi, an incarnation of Goddess Durga or Parvati who is also the presiding deity here. It is believed to be built by the Pallava kings in the 6-century and is one of the most revered temples in Pondicherry. A hundred year old temple right in the heart of the city.. earlier may be 10 - 15 years back not many will step into in as it is a community temple..now I find many going there and we'll maintained.. only temple for Goddess Kamatchi in Pondicherry. worth visiting..

A beautiful and historical temple. We were lucky to get to attend the Pooja on Tuesday evening and participate in lighting the oil lamps in front of the Goddess, along with the regular devotees there. Got to converse with an elderly gentleman who was very helpful about the timings and the stories of the temple. This visit was a wonderful experience.

Old temple very calm place, maintained by Viswakarma community people. One of the priest said once upon a time this place is full of Kadamba vanam (forest). In 1880 march 12th Thangamal donated to built this temple which is in the Tamil inscriptions.

Your regular temple for one of the many Goddesses of the Hindu Religion - Kamakshi Amman (காமாட்சி அம்மன்). The temple is undergoing renovation for quite some time but is still open to the public. My great great great grandfather (I think) did donate and build the inner shrine for Lord Vinayagar (வினாயகர்) inside the temple. Historic facts aside, parking is a headache since it's inside the town, so going on foot is...
