The Kamakshi Virutham (also spelled Kamakshi Viruttham ) is a devotional hymn in praise of Goddess Kamakshi of Kanchipuram. Unlike Dikshitar’s usual kritis , this is a virutham – a free-flowing, unmetered poetic verse often sung before a main piece. It describes the Goddess’s divine form, her compassion, her abode in Kanchi, and her power as the ultimate Shakti.
