Review
Karttikeya, the commander in chief of the celestial army, is also known as Subrahmanya, Skanda, Guha and Kumara. In South India, Subrahmanya is a popular deity. Among the Tamil-speaking people he is known as Murukan or Murugan while he is practically unknown in the North. Karttikeya is worshipped in the East, especially in Bengal where women pray to him for worthy sons. Like Ganesha, he was miraculously born to Shiva and Parvati. If Parvati created Ganesha, Karttikeya was the creation of Shiva, nurtured by Agni, Ganga and Krittikas in turn.
