Did you know?
Muruga (also known as Kartikeya or Skanda) is one of Hinduism's most revered deities, honored as the god of war, victory, and wisdom in South Indian tradition. He is typically depicted as eternally youthful and is the second son of Shiva and Parvati. Muruga is especially significant in Tamil Nadu, where temples dedicated to him (such as the famous Palani Murugan Temple) attract thousands of pilgrims. He is often shown wearing elaborate golden jewelry and silk garments, symbolizing divine splendor and cosmic power. His peacock mount and spear (vel) are iconic attributes representing his triumph over cosmic ignorance and evil.
