The son of Rudra is worshipped as Lord Kartikeya or Murugan. He is described as having the color of Kumkuma or vermillion on his body and is the leader of the army of Devas. He carries the Vel or spear given to him by his mother Goddess Parvati as a symbol of Apara Shakti or endless power. This Brass Vel with the sacred image of Tri-Pundra on one side, and Tamil Om on the other side, both symbols associated with Lord Shiva, is a symbol of the combined blessings of Hara-Parvati to their child. The Vel also has a sacred Purna Kalash at the junction of the Vel and stand and a Lotus bloom just above it signifying the power of wisdom. This Vel is worshipped as the holy weapon as well as the proxy of Lord Kartikeya.
