Lord Murugan is often referred to as Tamiḻ kadavuḷ the "God of the Tamils” and is worshiped primarily in areas with Tamil influences, especially in Tamilnadu and Pondicherry, Srilanka, Mauritis, Indonesia, Singapore and Reunion. The first elaborate account of Kartikeya's origin occurs in the Mahabharata. In a complicated story, he is said to have been born from Agni and Svaha, after the latter impersonated the six of the seven wives of the Saptarishi(Seven Sages).

 


Some Sanskrit epics and puranas indicate that he was the elder son of Shiva. This is suggested by the legend connected to his birth and the wedding of Shiva and Parvati being necessary for the birth of a child who would vanquish the asura named Taraka.
