This compact brass statue portrays Lord Muruga seated on his vehicle, the peacock, holding his Vel (spear). The presence of the peacock, a symbol of vigilance and majesty in Muruga’s iconography, enhances the traditional feel of this piece.
As described in sacred texts like the Skanda Purana and Tiruppugal, Muruga is often associated with qualities such as courage, spiritual discipline, and clarity. This small statue may be suitable for personal altars or for carrying in a pouch or bag.
Dr. Pillai has suggested:
"You should have it in your palm. So keep it in your palm. Take it with you."
This guidance encourages maintaining a tangible connection with Muruga's form throughout the day.
Suggested Use:
Keep the statue in your palm during quiet moments or carry it in a pouch or bag.
Place it on a clean, sacred altar at home or in your workspace.
Apply sandalwood paste on the deity’s forehead and base as a traditional offering.
You may choose to offer white or fragrant Oleander flowers and chant the mantra ‘Om Saravana Bhava’ — especially on Tuesdays, during Mars Hora, or on 6th Moon days.
Note: The color of the statue may change over time due to natural oxidation. This does not affect its symbolic or devotional use.
