Meenakshi Devi is a Hindu Goddess who is an incarnation of Goddess Parvati and wife of Sundareswara who is a form of Lord Shiva. The words “Meena” and “Akshi” mean “fish” and “eyes” respectively in Sanskrit. Thus, Meenakshi is said to be the fish-eyed Goddess who provides protection against any problems. Meenakshi Amman provides energy to her worshippers to succeed in their endeavours. Meenakshi Amman is a form of Lalita Tripurasundari, and is worshipped as the mother of all. She is the shakti, or energy, behind every action and event in the universe - from the tiniest vibrations of atoms to the massive collisions of Galaxies.
