Kartikeya, also known as Murugan or Skanda. Often shown as a young, handsome god with a spear, riding a peacock. He is sometimes depicted with six faces, symbolizing mastery over the senses and mind.

Kartikeya was born to defeat the demon Tarakasura and is considered the commander-in-chief of the Devas (gods).

Women in Mahabharata - Abhijit

She is the younger sister of Rohini, and a wife of Chandra. She is jealous of her elder sister and leaves her place in the sky to perform austerities seeking a higher station.

After Skanda accepts the matrigana women as his mothers, Sakra requests him to solve this issue. Skanda recommends that his six Krittika mothers should come together with Garudi to fill the gap. They are considered to be the saptarshirshaabha constellation.

Kartikeya: The eagles won last night.

Ganesh: Oh, did you watch the game last night?

Kartikeya, covered in blood and scratches and feathers: What game?

Yk how the Bangali dhuti drape is called Moyur Puccho cuz it loks like a peacock

So I thought what if Kartik wore a dhuti that ACTUALLY looked like a peacock (he already wears dhuti during Durga Pujo anyway)

This is the unfinished experimental piece I started, I think I'll finish it and make another better version soon

Reference

I was too focused on the dhuti and forgot about facial details lol

This looks great OMG!!

Also, peacocks naturally shed those feathers a lot. I learnt this from another post about a dress made of them

And now I'm imagining Kaumari wearing that dress to match with Him

Thank you so much 🙏🙏

I read that you are from UK , but u have lot of interest in Indian mythology and gods. I saw a post on Hindu prayer. Thats amazing

Hello! You're very welcome ✨🙏✨

And yes! Absolutely. There are a fair few Hindu gods and goddesses I have a deep connection with. I mainly work with the family of Shiva; Parvati and all her forms (such as Kali), Ganesha and Karikeya:

Though there are others I hold deep veneration. The main Hindu goddess I have a connection with is Durga. She is a fierce protectress. Durga represents a female Trinity and is made up of three goddesses; Parvati, Lakshmi and Sarasvati, but has nine forms, all of which are venerated in the Hindu festival Navaratri. Navaratri venerates Durga for overcoming great trials and triumphing over evil.

The nine forms of Durga venerated on Navaratri:

You will see me posting about this festival each year. This year Navaratri falls on October 3rd to the 12th, each day celebrates a different one of Durgas forms.

While I am not a Hindu, I still have great respect for this culture and find it very fascinating. I have had very amazing results by joining (in my own way) the celebrations of Navaratri. You'll likely see me posting about this later in the year. ✨🙏✨
