Lord Muruga is the most popular Hindu deity among the people of Tamil Nadu. He is referred to as the God of the Tamils. He is the son of Lord Shiva and he is known by different names like Subramanya, Shanmuga, Skanda, Karthilkeya, Arumuga and Kumaraswamy.

The story of the war god of Hindu Mythology is fascinating for many reasons. He has many nicknames but his most common would be Skanda, although it has been almost forgotten today after having been in worship for over two millennia. Skanda was most popular because of his absorption into the official pantheon as opposed to his previous folk status, and the sudden decline in his all-India popularity to once again being a local area god are all typical stages of this sheltering process.

As far as Indian history goes, Skanda began his existence basically from the beginning. He was a popular war god who lived on forested hills, was fond of hunting, fighting, and an appetite for blood sacrifices. He was young, handsome and a fire-eating, spear-wielding bravo. This basic template went by many names in different parts of the country. In Maharashtra he was called Khandoba and in vast areas of the south of India the god was known as Malai Kilavan, the Lord of the hills in ancient Tamil. His other name was Murugan. This is the name that he is most recognized as today in places of worship.

The Indologist Hardy had a theory that Murugan worship under different names was popular in the folk religion of the North of India too. He was supported in this by Parpola who spent a long time attempting to decipher the script of the Indus valley. Parpola came to the conclusion that Murugan was a deity of the Indus valley culture and that the very name Murugan is to be found in the language. While this is not a popularly accepted view, the reason it could be put forward is the uncontested antiquity of Skanda worship. If the Indus civilization theory proves true, then Skandais at least five thousand years old. In Maharashtra the assimilative forces of High Culture could not force Khandoba out so easily and he remained an independent god, although he is recognized as an avatar of Shiva.

It is interesting that most of the myths of Skanda deal with the vexed question of his parentage. No other figure in mythology has so many claimants for that status. Success indeed has many fathers, and in Skanda's case mothers too - eight in the most popular version the origin story! The many claimants for his parentage indicate his immense importance for rival sects who needed the hill warrior's popularity to bolster their numbers. The Ganapati worshippers alone took an antagonistic stand when it was their time to bask in the sun, they never could forgive Skanda his head start in popularity.
