About the temple

Sri Bangaru Kamakshi Amman Temple in Thanjavur is dedicated to Goddess Kamakshi, whose golden idol bears a darkened face due to traditional application of punugu. Built in the 1760s during the Maratha reign, it remains a significant pilgrimage site in the city. The shrine draws devotees through the day for darshan and aarti, with the atmosphere reaching its peak during the evening rituals and on festival days when special pujas are performed.
