Skanda Shasthi 2015 Final Day: Lord Murugan Abhishekam
On this day we worship Lord Murugan of Kadavul Temple. Here is a brief explanation of what Skanda Shasthi is:
Skanda Shasthi is a six-day South Indian festival to Skanda, the Lord of Religious Striving, also known as Murugan or Karttikeya. It begins on the day after the new moon in the month of Karttika (October/November) with chariot processions an d pujas invoking His protection and grace. The festival honors Skanda's receiving His lance, or vel, of spiritual illumination, and culminates in a victory celebration of spiritual light over darkness on the final day. Penance, austerity, fasting and devout worship are especially fruitful during this sacred time.
