Lord Kartikeya or Murugan in his powerful four-armed form, with all his divine weapons, accompanied by Devasena and Valli (his Shaktis)- these bronze statues are a sacred composition for the devotees to attain the blessings of the Lord.
On a lotus pedestal, Murugan appears as an ever-youthful divine, supporting his Vel and Dhwaja (spear and flag), while raising his hands in Varada and Abhaya mudra.
He is flanked by Devasena on his left and Valli on his right- distinguished by the Kuchabandha or breast-band which is an ornament for the primary or senior wife in the ancient iconography of Chola bronzes (Devasena in this composition).
All three icons are sculpted in a rounded manner, making them supremely auspicious for worship and a prized example of the traditional art of Swamimalai.
