#skanda

Kartikeya, also known as Murugan or Skanda. Often shown as a young, handsome god with a spear, riding a peacock. He is sometimes depicted with six faces, symbolizing mastery over the senses and mind.

She is the younger sister of Rohini, and a wife of Chandra. She is jealous of her elder sister and leaves her place in the sky to perform austerities seeking a higher station.

Ganesh: Oh, did you watch the game last night?

So I thought what if Kartik wore a dhuti that ACTUALLY looked like a peacock (he already wears dhuti during Durga Pujo anyway)

This is the unfinished experimental piece I started, I think I'll finish it and make another better version soon

Reference

I was too focused on the dhuti and forgot about facial details lol

This looks great OMG!!

Also, peacocks naturally shed those feathers a lot. I learnt this from another post about a dress made of them

Ayee isn't that (the one with Devsena) AI generated??? 😭😭

जय जय श्री स्कंद

I read that you are from UK , but u have lot of interest in Indian mythology and gods. I saw a post on Hindu prayer. Thats amazing

Hello! You're very welcome ✨🙏✨

And yes! Absolutely. There are a fair few Hindu gods and goddesses I have a deep connection with. I mainly work with the family of Shiva; Parvati and all her forms (such as Kali), Ganesha and Karikeya:

Though there are others I hold deep veneration. The main Hindu goddess I have a connection with is Durga. She is a fierce protectress. Durga represents a female Trinity and is made up of three goddesses; Parvati, Lakshmi and Sarasvati, but has nine forms, all of which are venerated in the Hindu festival Navaratri. Navaratri venerates Durga for overcoming great trials and triumphing over evil.

You will see me posting about this festival each year. This year Navaratri falls on October 3rd to the 12th, each day celebrates a different one of Durgas forms.
