Kamakshi Amman Temple, Saidapet, Hindu temple in Saidapet, Tamil Nadu, India.
The Kamakshi Amman Temple features a central shrine with an idol of the goddess Kamakshi seated in a meditation pose, accompanied by images of Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma.
The temple structure stands as a testament to Tamil architectural heritage, displaying elements from both Pallava and Chola dynasties that influenced its construction over centuries.
Devotees participate in four daily worship ceremonies, starting with the morning Gau Pooja and Gaja Pooja, where elephants perform traditional temple rituals at sunrise.
The temple opens daily from sunrise to midday and again in the late afternoon, with extended hours during festivals and special religious observances throughout the year.
The temple houses the Ardhameru Sri Chakram, a specialized yantra crafted from herbal materials that receives only kumkuma offerings during ceremonial practices.
