This finely cast brass image presents Murugan in his youthful form as Kumara, the divine commander of Indra’s army. The sculpture captures him at the moment of poised readiness, his youthful face animated with clarity, confidence, and calm authority.
Murugan holds the Vel, the sacred spear bestowed by Shakti, symbolising wisdom and decisive victory, along with a peacock-feather-emblazoned spear and a trident. One hand is raised in abhaya mudra, offering protection and reassurance, while another extends in varada, signifying grace and blessing. Together, these gestures balance martial strength with benevolence.
The elongated crown gives the figure a regal presence, while the ornamentation is executed with remarkable precision. Layered necklaces, armlets, and waist ornaments frame the body without excess. The dhoti is secured by finely turning chain ornaments that fall in perfect symmetry, ending in peacock-shaped clasps that visually connect Murugan to his mayura vahana, which stands attentively beside him.
The two-tiered pedestal grounds the sculpture in ritual dignity, while the polished brass surface, softened by subtle tonal variations, enhances its sense of life. This image stands as a refined and complete expression of Murugan as Kumara, youthful, resplendent, and fully realised in divine command and grace.
