[color="#0000FF"]1. Kaanchi Kamaakshee is one of the Shakti Peetha-s.
2. The Kovil is *the* Shakti Kovil for all of Kanchipuram.
3. The KamakShee Kovil is in the Somaskanda formation with her husband's at Ekambranatha Kovil, with the Kumara Kottam Kovil in exactly the centre of the line connecting the parent Kovils. There are cross-references to each other between all three.
4. Also, there's the little detail that Kanchipuram itself is built as the Yantra of Lalita, where Kanchi KamaakShee Kovil's Garbha Gruham is the *Bindu* of the Yantra that is Kanchi.[/color]
The moolamoorty of Kamakshee (being Lalitha) is typically Hindu, and its history - very, exclusively Hindoo - is well-known. Also KamakShee Kovil - being a shakti peetha - has a hoary history. (Far predating Shankaracharya's involvement there. Much before him*, LS and I think LT are also supposed to be given here, and the two Rishis thereof have their Marks at the Kovil as well. * Also seen in how the commentary on the LT is oft-attributed to Shankara BP, which itself implies that it well predates him, and was a long established text at that time.)

Curious that assertions of Buddhistic/etc origins never seem to know (or refer to) all such basic things about the very stuff they claim, before they start making their declarations of ownership.
