Kameshvaramukhalokakalpitashriganeshvara (कामेश्वरमुखालोककल्पितश्रीगणेश्वरा, IAST: Kāmeśvaramukhālokakalpitaśrīgaṇeśvarā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who created Ganesha by gazing upon Kameshvara's face”. This name reveals the wondrous origin of Gaṇeśa as narrated in the Lalitā cycle — the Goddess manifested the Lord of Gaṇas simply by gazing upon the radiant face of her divine consort Kāmeśvara, a glance so potent it brought forth a new deity.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Kāmeśvara is the supreme lord of desire and the consort of Lalitā; mukha means face, āloka means sight or glance, kalpita means created or fashioned, śrī denotes auspicious splendor, and Gaṇeśvara is the lord of Gaṇas. The compound thus reveals that Gaṇeśa was not born of clay or battle but was called into being by the sheer creative power of Lalitā's loving gaze upon Śiva's luminous countenance. This episode underscores Her role as Ādyāśakti — the primordial creative force from whom all auspicious manifestations arise.

Lalitā Tripurasundarī bears this epithet in the Lalitā Sahasranāma to affirm Her sovereignty over cosmic creation and Her intimate bond with Śiva. As a given name it is unwieldy for daily use; it is best honored in pārāyaṇa (sacred recitation).
