Hope they show us parvati sitting on shiv's lap.. It shows control over once feelings and shows deep love at the same time. shiv parvati conversations are many times done in this way. He never answers directly he explains life to her and through her to the entire world.

They're showing this, but in Durga pujas, both Ganesh & Kartikeya look like youths in their 20s

So frnds the birth of shiv-putra kartikey is near in dkdm. So i want to ask few things to all the knowledgeble peoples here. 1) why kartikey is not seen in any pic wid mahadev-parvati and ganpati bappa. 2) i read on twitter that after killing tarkasur kartikey didn't returned to kailash. Is it true? And why? 3) i too heard that in his temple womens are restricted to enter. If its already discused then kindly close the topic and if not discused then kindly narate us the story of veer kartikey.

1) Karthikeya is very much part of the shiv parivar and was very popular God in whole of India one whole Purana "Skanda Purana" is dedicated to him however his popularity has decreased in the North after the middle ages and that of ganesha increased hence Ganesha is more popular in the north. Story of rivalry of Karthikeya and ganesha symbolically signifies this shift in the North.

2) Receding of karthikeya towards the south indicates his reduction in popularity in the north and southward increase in popularity

3) Karthikeya worship in North is in the brahmachari form, although very rare in the North karthikeya is unmarried and elder to ganesha whereas in the south he is younger and has two wives Sri Valli and Devayani. there is very old karthikeya temple in haryana( Pehowa township) where women are not allowed.

on the whole there is a large difference in how south and North view Karthikeya, for bthe Northerners he is a Brahmachari and for southerners he is married and has two wives.

Best regards
krishna
