Celebrated primarily by Hindus, especially in South India, Skanda Sashti is dedicated to Lord Murugan, also known as Skanda or Kartikeya, the god of war and son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. This festival occurs on the sixth day of the waxing phase of the moon in the Tamil month of Aippasi, which typically falls in October or November.

Skanda Sashti is a significant event for devotees, marking the victory of Lord Murugan over the demon Surapadman, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. The celebrations often span six days, culminating in grand festivities on the final day. Devotees observe rigorous fasts, engage in devotional singing, and participate in elaborate rituals to honor Lord Murugan. Temples dedicated to him, particularly the famous ones in Tamil Nadu like the Thiruchendur Murugan Temple, become centers of vibrant celebrations and processions.

On Skanda Sashti, devotees perform special pujas and abhishekams, offering items such as flowers, fruits, and incense to the deity. Many also recite the Skanda Sashti Kavasam, a powerful hymn believed to protect and bless the reciter. The festival is a time for devotees to seek Lord Murugan’s blessings for courage, strength, and protection.
