This granite Garden statue is a one of a kind sculpture, hand carved by the artists of south India using a hammer and chisel.

Special features:  Shiva’s other son besides Ganesh is Kartikeya, also known as Kumara, Skanda, Subramanya, Shanmukha or Murugan (used in Tamil Nadu).  As Subramanya, he has two consorts, Valli and Devasena, who embody Jnana Shakti, the power of knowledge and Kriya Shakti, the power of action.  As Kartikeya he is designated the deity of war, guarding right and destroying evil.  As Shanmukha, the six-headed, he teaches that we have five senses and the mind, and only when all six are in harmony is there spiritual growth.    He rides on a peacock.  The peacock as he struts around admires his own beauty.  Murugan reminds us to control these impulses of pride and egoism.

In Murugan's hand he holds the vel or sharp spear.  He uses the vel to guard the spiritual progress of the world.  Behind Him and in front of Murugan are peacocks.  The peacock is a representation of egoism as he struts around admires his own beauty.  Murugan reminds us to control these impulses of pride and egoism.  To Murugan's left and right are His two consorts, Valli and Devasena.  Directly in front of Murugan is a peacock.  Behind the peacock is a palli pedum.  A small religious article is usually placed under the pedum to consecrate the sculpture.

About Black Granite: Indian black granite is a wonderful stone. It is capable of a variety of finishes which can give it a variety of different color possibilities. It is possible to see 4-5 different colors on a single piece depending on the degree of polish or roughness of the stone. Indian black granite is among the best granite in the world sought after by artists globally. Unlike inferior quality granite, Indian granite is extremely dense and without impurities that plague other stones. The density of granite makes a granite sculpture perfect for any garden because it can be left outside in extreme heat and extreme cold for years without care.
