Includes any tariffs and taxes

Murugan's Vel is seen as a stand-in for the Lord himself. Lord Murugan is supposed to have received the Vel from his mother, Parvati, as the tremendous Shakti (Parashakti) power that dispels all illusions and allows him to study things logically. This wonderfully created bronze sculpture has the distinctive Tripundra, which represents Lord Shiva's holy ash marks, and the Tilak, which represents spiritual wisdom, on the forehead. The statue is intelligently positioned on a lotus pedestal, emphasizing the deity's relationship with beauty and transcendence.

The Divine Spear of Victory

This exquisite bronze artifact embodies the formidable power and divine authority of Lord Kartikeya, the Hindu god of war and the commander of the celestial armies. Known as the 'Vel' in Tamil, this spear is more than just a weapon; it is a symbol of spiritual prowess, victory over ignorance, and the triumph of dharma. In the epic tale of the Skanda Purana, the Vel is depicted as the divine instrument bestowed upon Kartikeya by his mother, Goddess Parvati, to vanquish the demon Surapadman, thereby liberating the world from his tyranny. The spear’s piercing essence represents the wisdom that cuts through illusion and delusion, guiding devotees towards enlightenment and spiritual liberation.

Craftsmanship and Symbolism

Meticulously crafted from high-quality bronze, this 6-inch representation of the Vel stands as a testament to traditional Indian metalworking artistry. The artist has captured the dynamic energy of the divine weapon, from its sharply pointed tip, representing the focused intent of divine will, to the intricately designed base that provides a stable foundation. The shaft is adorned with delicate, repeating bands, hinting at the sacred geometry and rhythmic chanting that often accompanies puja rituals. The lotus-shaped finial at the tip symbolizes purity and divine blossoming, while the square pedestal, decorated with flowing motifs, signifies stability and the grounded nature of spiritual practice. This piece is designed to be a focal point of devotion, radiating an aura of strength and divine protection.

A Sacred Presence for Your Altar

The presence of the Vel is deeply revered in South India, particularly in Tamil Nadu, where it is central to the worship of Lord Murugan, another name for Kartikeya. Temples dedicated to Murugan often feature the Vel prominently, and devotees offer prayers and perform rituals seeking its blessings for courage, success, and protection against negativity. This bronze Vel with its elegant stand is ideally suited for your home altar, puja room, or as a distinguished decorative piece that carries profound spiritual significance. Its rich metallic sheen and detailed craftsmanship make it a captivating addition, inviting contemplation and fostering a connection with the divine energies of Lord Kartikeya. Whether used in daily worship, special ceremonies, or as a symbol of one's spiritual journey, this Vel serves as a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit and the ultimate victory of good over evil.
