Lord Murugan is a Hindu deity who is primarily worshipped in South India, particularly in Tamil Nadu. He is also known by other names such as Kartikeya, Skanda, and Subramanya. Murugan is considered to be the god of war, victory, and wisdom.
In Hindu mythology, Murugan is depicted as a young and handsome warrior with six faces and twelve arms, riding a peacock. He is believed to have been born out of the third eye of Lord Shiva and was raised by six Krittika stars, hence he is also known as Krittika Kumara.
Lord Murugan is also associated with many temples, festivals, and rituals in South India, the most famous being the Arupadaiveedu, which are the six important temples dedicated to him located in Tamil Nadu. His worship is also prominent in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, and other countries with significant Tamil populations
