Description

• This item is a double-sided Murugan Vel with Peacock idol, a popular Hindu devotional showpiece. It is made of metal, often with a gold-plated or multicolor finish, and is commonly used in pooja rooms, office desks, or as a car dashboard ornament. 

• Deity/Symbolism: The idol represents Lord Murugan (also known as Kartikeya or Subramanya Swamy), the Hindu god of war and victory.
  • The Peacock (Mayil): The peacock is Lord Murugan’s vahana (vehicle), symbolizing beauty, nobility, and the triumph over arrogance and ego.
  • The Vel: The spear or lance represents divine knowledge (gnana), courage, and the piercing of ignorance.
  • The double-sided design allows for both spiritual aspects to be displayed.
• Material and Size: These idols are typically made of a metal alloy, such as brass or aluminum, and are often gold-plated. They come in various compact sizes, with common heights ranging from 6 cm to 8.5 cm (around 2.5 to 3.5 inches), making them suitable for small spaces.
• Usage: Due to their compact size and spiritual significance, they are widely available for purchase online and in stores for personal worship and decorative purposes.
