Karttikeya (Amar Chitra Katha) Vol. 529 (P)

The Puranas describe Karttikeya, a son of shiva, as the commander-in-chief of the celestial army. He is also known as Subrahmanya, Skanda, Guha and Kumara. To the Tamil-speaking people he is Murugan. The six-headed, twelve-armed Karttikeya seated on a peacock is the symbol of youth, valour and supreme wisdom.
