As per Tamil folklore too, Kartikeya is married to, not one - but- two wives.

okk i read in a bengali version that devsena was indra's sister..may be its a diff version
and then who is the second wife of karthikeya???

ganpati had 2 wives buddhi and siddhi but what was the name of karthikeya's 2nd wife??

Valli. She was the adopted daughter of a tribal chieftain, Nambiraja.

This was a love marriage with its share of romance, secrecy and heartaches before a happy conclusion in the end . And yes, here, Ganesha as an elder brother, comes to Murugan's rescue when he is caught in a tight spot.

I have written about Murugan- Valli's marriage here

Acc to Skanda and Shiva Puranas, Kartikeya is indeed the elder son. But for us, muruga is the illayavan (younger).But they should remain true to any one purana- not show whatever their fantasy pleases with scant regard to viewers feelings.

Correct ok of they are showing him as elder as Skandha Puraan show him as elder but , what are they doing to his character

Its very bad what they are showing. Jim picking upo a stome on Parvati😲

^^^^ Gee, thanks a lot Jai. Beautiful. And the whirlpool kind of lines spiraling outwards seem to indicate the blessings flowing out of Shiva's feet. Thanks once again.

No, both the peacock (vahan) and the rooster (emblem) are forms of Surapadman (Takasuran's eldest brother). During the closing stages of the battle, Surapadman resorts to Maya and begins to appear in different forms. This represents the maya of illusion or ignorance. At one point, Surapadman took the form of a mango tree. Muruga, who had had enough of this battle hurled his Vel at the 'tree'. The Vel which symbolizes 'gyana' or the power of knowledge pierced the tree and split it into two.

When the Vel caused Surapadman's body to split asunder, all his ignorance and arrogance vanished and in this new frame of mind, he was able to appreciate who Murugan actually was. This was how Gyana (Knowledge) triumphed over Timira (Darkness).

In his dying moments, Surapadman sought pardon and mercy and Kartikeya transformed him into a peacock and made him his Vahana. He also transformed him into a rooster - to be displayed as his emblem / flag- signifying that Muruga considers his devotees to be higher than he himself.

Simhamukha- the middle brother - who also repented for his actions, was given the honour of becoming Durga's vehicle.
