The Peacock is the Vahan, or Divine vehicle of Muruga, who represents matchless strength, hyper-intelligence, and protection. Propitiating this statue, energized in our sacred Muruga rituals, can remove ignorance, grant strength, and enhance your wisdom to achieve your goals.
In Hinduism, the peacock's beauty and vibrance is the symbol of vanity and pride. Muruga having it as his vehicle symbolizes his dominance over both. Just as the peacock sheds its feathers every year, it represents the shedding of the old self and embracing a new self. Moreover, Peacocks overrule snakes, and it denotes overpowering internal and external negativities with the blessings of Muruga.
