Kaliyuga Varadhan || Goutham Maheswar || Kalopasana || Dance festival

Описание: This composition paints the glory of Lord Muruga. Kaliyuga varadhan kankanda daivamayi kazhchiazhippath palaniyile ,Lord Muruga is situated in the hills of Palani. Among many paths of worship, Padayatra is popular among devotees. The tiredness of the journey is eased by singing folk songs on Lord Muruga.
Devotees pierce their bodies as a form of self-mortification and devotion. This act of self-sacrifice is a way to fulfill vows or to seek blessings from Lord Murugan.
The devotee, often in a trance-like state, walks in a procession to a Murugan temple. Upon reaching the temple, the offerings are presented to the deity.

The demon king Surapadman, made almost invincible by a divine boon, began terrorizing the three worlds. To stop him, Lord Shiva created his son, Lord Murugan (also known as Skanda or Kartikeya), from his third eye.

Armed with the Vel (spear) from his mother, Goddess Parvati, Murugan defeated Surapadman's army. In their final battle, Surapadman transformed into a massive tree to avoid defeat. Murugan split the tree with his spear.

Upon his defeat, Surapadman sought forgiveness. Showing immense compassion (which is why he's called "Karunai Kadale" or "Ocean of Compassion"), Murugan pardoned him and transformed the two halves of the demon into his constant companions: the rooster, which became his banner, and the peacock, which became his vehicle.
