Murugan

As in Kailasam Murugan is the son of Parvati and Shiva, brother of Ganesha, and a god whose life story has many versions in Hinduism. The iconography of Kartikeya varies significantly; he is typically represented as an ever-youthful man, riding or near a peacock, dressed with weapons sometimes near a rooster. Murugan is known by numerous names in ancient and medieval texts of the Indian culture. Most common among these are Kartikeya, Kumara, Skanda, and Subrahmanya.
