> The sacred place namely - Kanchipuram (Kancheepuram) gets its name from the

Kanchi Tree which bears Kanchi flowers or blossoms. By virtue of the sweet

fragrance of Amrith (the food of the Gods) that these flowers possess, they are

most apt for the celestials.

>

> This sacred species of flowers where found only at this holy place of

Kanchipuram (Kancheepuram) , since pre-historic times This Kanchi tree that had

been created ages ago bears branches that glittered like gold, leaves that

sparkled Like emeralds and fruits that sparkled like the nine gems. Out of the

fourteen worlds present in this vast Universe, these blossoms or flowers were

found only in the Earth, at the holy place of Kanchi. These flowers bloomed and

filled air with fragrance. It can be said that they (flowers) bloomed and swayed

In the breeze and filled and air with their sweet fragrance, much to pleasure of

the celestials. So all the Celestials beginning from the Mummoorthis came to

this place (Kanchi) stayed here, prayed with great devotions And were granted

their boons (the boons they aspired for) and the holy place was named 'Kanchi

Devapuram'. Due to changes in the affairs of recent times, the holy place came

to be called 'Kanchipuram (Kancheepuram) '.

> When destruction Of worlds takes place towards the close of a Yuga period,

Kanchi stands as the last place to get destroyed. During the Sathur Yuga period

all the celestials come to Kanchi, establish idols of God (Siva lingams) bearing

Their holy names (name of the respective celestials) in order to attain

salvation. This practice (names of The respective celestials) of establishing

idols of God (Shiva lingam) and worshipping them has been going on, Since

several corers of Yuga periods. Keerthimathi ranks first among the 108 original

powerful heirs to the Throne " Original Power Throne " . She (Keerthimathi is the

heroine to the throne) is in none other than the Great Goddess Kamakshi herself.

During the Thuvaparayuga of the Sathuryuga period, Goddess Kamackshi sets Her

divine foot on the sacred land of Kanchi, does penance gives several things away

in charity, upholds The principles of Truth and Justice and thus protects the

whole world. So, Kanchi is considered as very sacred Land. The seven holy places

known for bestowing salvation are Ayodhya, Madurai, Mayapuri, Kasi, Kanchipuram

(Kancheepuram) , Avanthi and Dwaraka. The sacred place namely-Kanchi is held in

high esteem since it tops the list of the seven holy places mentioned above.

> Kanchipuram (Kancheepuram) is a holy place bounded on all sides by holy rivers

such as Palar, Cheyyar, Kambaiyar, Vegavathi, Manjalaru, Vanniyaru and

Kanchiyaru. The profound truth that the very soil of this holy land comes under

the class of the five great elements in natures (Land, Water, Air, Fire and Sky)

bears testimony to The greatness of Kanchi. Even today, several millions of

Sages, wise men, Siddhas (a class of celestials who Have acquired the 8 great

mystic powers) and celestials worship the idols of God and also his spirit. They

Also worship him (God) in the different forms through which the manifests

himself. The great devotion to God helps them earn his favor and they acquire

the 8 mystic powers from God. Thus Kanchipuram (Kancheepuram) is a divine place

which has great personages (who possess great powers) to its credit.
