MURUGAN
Hindu War God
Also known as Murukan
Tamil God of Youth and War
He is the Tamil version of Kârttikeya — not that there is much difference between them.
Like Kârttikeya he rides a peacock — or sometimes an elephant — with a spear and a garland of flowers. He is one of the original trendsetters for these fashion accessories.
It must be the impetuosity of youth.
