He is usually portrayed holding his Vel or Lance. He frequently is represented with a youthful appearance. His vehicle is the Peacock which represents Infinite Light, and his flag has a Rooster (Kukuta) on the banner which represents Infinite Sound. Muruga’s energy is filled with valor and power. He is always considered to be here and now, within and yet beyond time and space. Lord Muruga is worshiped with the “6 letter mantra: Sa Ra Va Na Ba Va”. Each of the 6 syllables is dedicated to the 6 faces of Lord Muruga. Each night of the 6 Days of Muruga will be dedicated to invoking the power and energy of one of the syllables.
