Goddess Valli is one of the two consorts of Lord Murugan (Kartikeya), the Hindu god of war and wisdom.
Valli symbolizes love, devotion, and the connection between divine and earthly realms.
Her story is rooted in Tamil text, where she is portrayed as a tribal princess who falls in love with Murugan, representing the union of spiritual and earthly love.
In statues, Valli is often shown standing gracefully beside Murugan, dressed in traditional ornaments and garments, reflecting her simple yet divine nature.
She holds a lotus or stands with her hands in Anjali Mudra (a gesture of reverence). Together with Devasena, Murugan’s other wife, Valli embodies the balance between worldly desires and spiritual aspirations. These statues are popular in Murugan temples, especially in Tamil Nadu, where devotees seek blessings for love, harmony, and prosperity.
