Kanniga Parameswari, also known as Kanniya Parameswari, is a revered form of the Hindu goddess Parvati, worshipped primarily in South India, particularly by the Komutti Chettiars and certain merchant communities. She is considered the embodiment of purity, virtue, and divine feminine power. In some traditions, she is also identified with Kamakshi or other forms of Parvati, symbolizing motherly care and protection. Temples dedicated to her can be found in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, where devotees seek her blessings for prosperity, well-being, and familial harmony.
