Lord Subramanya, also known as Kartikeya or Muruga, is revered as the commander of the celestial armies and the embodiment of youthful valour. The Skanda Purana highlights his power to protect devotees from negativity and guide them towards victory.
In the abhishekam, milk, curd, sandal paste, honey, and flowers are offered to his idol while chanting mantras. The Vel, his divine spear, symbolises the destruction of ignorance and the triumph of dharma.
“वाले वाले महावीर, शक्तिवेल सुब्रह्मण्य शरणम्।”
In Telangana, this ritual is often performed on Skanda Shashti, Tuesdays, or during personal milestones. It is especially recommended for those seeking relief from Sarpa Dosha (ancestral afflictions), career obstacles, and marital disharmony.
The blessings of Lord Subramanya ensure professional growth, courage, and spiritual awakening. Families believe that his divine energy grants protection, fulfils desires, and opens the path to success.
