Kannagi is eulogized as the epitome of chastity and is still worshipped as its goddess. She is praised for her extreme devotion to her husband in spite of his adulterous behaviour.
She is worshiped as goddess Pathini It must be noted that Kannagi is also viewed as a brave woman who could demand justice directly from the king and even dared to call him "unenlightened king" (Silapathikaram: Vazhakkurai Kathai). The point here is that while she was behaving in a non-interfering manner with her domestic problems, she was no meek woman that would brook injustice in the rule of the law.
