The Religious Festival of

Kandha Sashti Viratham Celebration

and Significance Lord Muruga is worshipped in a

significant and grand manner in Tamil Nadu,

India . The festival of Kandha

Sashti Viratham lasts for six days, starting with the day following the new

moon in the month of Aswin, and is extremely important for devotees of Lord

Muruga. This year the festival is from November 12 to 17, 2004. The ‘sashti’ or sixth day

of the full moon and the sixth day of the new moon are favorite days for Lord

Muruga. Some devotees of Lord Muruga observe partial or full fast on each

Sashti day and throughout the Kanda Sashti period. The Sashti falling in on the waxing

moon period in the Hindu lunar month of Aippasi or Aswin (October-November) is

the day on which Lord Muruga is believed to have killed a super-demon called

Sura Padman. This is commemorated in the six-day festival of Kanda Sashti as a

symbol of perpetual destruction of evil by God. Each of these six days is, by

custom, set apart to recite the glory of Lord Muruga from one of the six

scriptures in His praise, namely: Tirumurukarruppadai, Kandar Kalivenba, Kandar

Anubhuti, Kandar Alankaram, Kanda Sashti Kavacam and Kanda Puranam. Giant-sized

images of four demons (asuras) are moved on uplifted chariots, and these are

symbolically encountered and destroyed by the Lord. For this festival only, the deity of

Chinnakumarar comes down from the hill temple, kills the demons (asuras) at the

corners of the four direction while on a festive procession around the hill,

and triumphantly returns to His abode in the hill. This is on the sixth day,

i.e., the sashti day. All the other events of the festival take place in the

hill temple. On the seventh day, Muruga marries Valli. This divine marriage is

celebrated both in the hill temple and in the

Periyanayaki Temple.Kandha Sashti Kavasam: Bombay Saradha - AV link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpKubUqAK0gKandha Sashti Kavasam
