According to the Shaiva and Shakta Puranic legends, the son of Shiva and Parvati, Karttikeya was born to be the commander-in-chief of Indra's army and quell the forces of Tarakasura- a legendary war that he fought in his early years. The lores of Kumara (the youthful one) as the ever-victorious Senapati have been popularized through literature and folk tradition, where he is revered in his Bala (childhood) form, symbolizing his divine abilities and purity.
In this bronze statue, Murugan or Kumara Karttikeya stands atop a lotus pedestal, in a benevolent mood, with an imposing crown, ornaments, and Yajnopavita enhancing his heavenly aura. Accompanied by his Vahana, Mayura, Murugan lifts his hand in the mudra of fearlessness, signifying his protective presence in the lives of his devotees.
