📝 વિગતવાર માહિતી
Vaikasi Visakam 2026 falls during the Visakha nakshatra in the Tamil month of Vaikasi (verify exact date with Tamil panchangam). Lord Murugan (also called Kartikeya, Skanda, Shanmukha — the six-faced one) is the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati, and the divine commander of the heavenly army. Vaikasi Visakam marks the day he received his sacred Vel (spear) from Goddess Parvati and vanquished the demon Surapadman. Key celebrations: (1) The six sacred Murugan abodes (Arupadai Veedu) — Palani, Tiruchendur, Swamimalai, Thiruthani, Pazhamudircholai, Kundrathur — hold grand processions and alankaram (divine decoration). (2) Kavadi Attam: Devotees carry elaborate kavadi structures (bamboo frames decorated with peacock feathers, coconuts, milk pots) to the temple as fulfillment of vows. (3) Vel puja: Worship of the sacred Vel spear, symbol of divine wisdom cutting through ignorance. Rituals for home: Wake before sunrise, bathe, wear yellow or red clothes, offer red flowers, fruits, and honey to Murugan's idol. Chant Kanda Sashti Kavacham and Tiruppugazh. This day is especially auspicious for students, those seeking career success, and victory over obstacles.
