Lord Murugan, also known as Kartikeya or Skanda, is depicted holding a divine spear known as the “Vel”. This sacred weapon represents his identity as a warrior deity. According to Legends, the Vel was given to Lord Murugan by his mother, Goddess Parvati, to vanquish the demon Surapadman. According to the Skanda Purana, during the battle between Murugan and Soorapadman, Murugan used the Vel to destroy all of Soorapadman’s evil troops.
The Vel itself is not just a physical weapon but a representation of divine power, wisdom, and the ability to pierce through ignorance and obstacles. This Vel, painstakingly crafted in bronze, is a sacred and powerful symbol representing the divine strength, wisdom, and protective energy of Lord Murugan. It inspires devotees to face challenges with courage and to tread the path of righteousness.
