Skanda Shasthi 2015
As part of Skanda Shashti, devotees came to worship Lord Muruga's grand Vel atop Muruga Hill on San Marga. Offerings of fresh fruits, camphor, kumkum, incense, vibhuti, turmeric, coconuts, flowers, milk, auspicious herbs, rose water, and new cloth were all presented to Lord Muruga on His hill. Thiruppugal sounds were sung and mantras filled the air. From the viewpoint of the top of Muruga Hill, one looks out upon the duration of San Marga only to see Swayambhu Sivalingam at its final point. From Muruga's Shakti Vel, we are propelled onward and upward to Siva's Holy Feet.
