Paravani – 'The Divine Vahana of Lord Muruga'.

The Mythical Saga

Kartikeya carries a spear on one hand and is always blessing devotees with his other. His vehicle is a peacock, a pious bird that grips a serpent with its feet, which symbolizes the ego and desires of people. The peacock represents the destroyer of harmful habits and the conqueror of sensual desires. The symbolism of Kartikeya thus points to the ways and means of reaching perfection in life.
