Embodiment of Divine Power and Grace

This exquisite stone carving depicts Karttikeya, also known as Murugan, the Hindu god of war, victory, and wisdom. He is portrayed in his iconic form with six heads, symbolizing his omniscience and multifaceted nature. Each head possesses a distinct yet serene expression, conveying a sense of profound contemplation and divine power. The multiplicity of heads represents his ability to perceive all directions simultaneously, a testament to his vigilance and all-encompassing awareness. Karttikeya is a central figure in Hindu mythology, revered as the son of Shiva and Parvati, and the commander of the celestial armies. His legends are rich with tales of his bravery, his role in defeating powerful demons, and his role as a protector of the righteous. ––––––––––––––––––

A Celestial Steed of Splendor

The divine deity is depicted seated majestically upon his vahana, the peacock. The peacock, in Hindu tradition, is not merely a bird but a symbol of beauty, pride, and royalty, often associated with the heavens. Karttikeya's mount is rendered with remarkable detail, its form conveying both strength and grace. The intricate carvings on the peacock's feathers and body add to the overall grandeur of the sculpture, mirroring the divine aura of the god himself. The peacock is believed to have been gifted to Karttikeya by his father, Shiva, and it serves as a powerful emblem of his dominion over the skies and his victory over darkness. ––––––––––––––––––

Artistry of Mahabalipuram

Crafted from a single piece of stone from the renowned artisan hub of Mahabalipuram, this statue is a testament to the enduring legacy of South Indian stone sculpting. The artisans have meticulously etched every detail, from the divine ornamentation adorning Karttikeya's form to the delicate patterns on his attire and the resplendent feathers of his peacock mount. The contrast between the dark stone and the lighter, incised lines creates a visually striking effect, bringing the divine figures to life. The skillful execution and the rich cultural narrative embedded within this piece make it a truly captivating work of art, suitable for any sacred space or discerning collection. Its presence evokes a sense of peace, strength, and spiritual elevation, inviting contemplation of the divine attributes it represents.
