That's news to me. I thought that in the North, Kartikeya is regarded as a bachelor.

Anyway, what are Kartikeya's wives names in Rajasthan?

sorry to say this...but d shiva purana does not mention such a story...actually, its nt sure whether d original purana had it or was tis story added later...debate continues among historians...but most believe tat story was added later...so, for ME...d original shiv purana does not mention andhaka!!!!


Oh god. Wildcat, (what is your real name?), Shiva Purana and many other Puranas DO mention Andhaka.

In fact, Shiva Purana mentions 2 Andhakas - one is the son who was ultimately forgiven and made a gana, while the other was a midget asura like Raktabheej whose blood touching the ground would create new asuras, and whose blood Mahadev collected in a bowl to prevent it from spilling.

I thought the names of ganesh's wives were riddhi and siddhi. Who is budhi?

there is lot of confusion regarding that...some puranas mention riddhi-siddhi to be d wives of ganesh while others believe it be siddhi-buddhi...in the north, siddhi-buddhi story is more prevelant, so i guess that is y d serial is showing them!!!!

This is where I read about them

There is another Andhaka, which was the midget asura (which I described above), which I couldn't find in the above site, but which I had read about
