According to legend, she was born as the princess of Madurai and later married Lord Shiva in a grand celestial wedding that is celebrated annually as "Meenakshi Thirukalyanam." Meenakshi is a symbol of power, fertility, and divine femininity, and her temple is a major center for both pilgrimage and cultural heritage in South India.
