Karttikeya, the son of Shiva and Parvati popularly known as Murugan in Southern India is presented in this Tanjore painting in his form as a warrior deity. He holds his powerful Vel in his hand and has the other one placed on his waist, striking a splendid posture, highlighted by an aureole marked by Kiritmukha, Makara, and Yali, symbols of royalty in Indian culture. He is attired in a beautiful dhoti with golden details, ornaments, and floral garland outlining his divine form. With the Tripunda on his forehead and animated eyes, Murugan fills the Thanjavur artwork with his heavenliness.
