Location: Ancient South Indian Temple

🔱 History echoes in stones...

This is the amazing craft of Lord Shadanan Kartikeya (Murugan) — six faces, twelve arms and a proud fluttering deity on peacock.
This statue is not only art, it is a testament to the heritage of religion, martial arts and culture that resides in the soul of India.

➡️ This statue is one of the rare craftsmanships made in temples in South India where the gods are lively depicted — complete beauty and strength with weapons, currency and vehicles.

Every weapon is a symbol of an element — knowledge, strength, control, courage and devotion.
Every face is a guardian of a direction — and at the same time, shows the ability to handle different aspects of human life.
