Murugan Swami

Every year during the Tamil Hindu festival of Thaipusam in January-February lakhs of devotees climb up the hill with Kavadis on their backs and make the journey uphill for a darshan of the Lord. 

The Lord also has several Chinese devotees who have been making the journey for several decades now!

The Batu Cave temple was built in 1890 by Indian trader K. Thamboosamy Pillai who was inspired by the cave that has a shape of Lord Swaminat Kartikeya's spear.

Kartik Swami Temple in Uttarakhand

Kartik Swami or Swaminath as he is also known to to the people of Uttarakhand, has his mool pitha or main temple near the village of Kanak Chauru district Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand, is dedicated to the elder son of Lord Shiva, Kartikeya, who offered his bones as testimony of his devotion to his father. It is believed that the incident took place here. Lord Kartik Swami is also known as Kartik Murugan Swami in the southern part of India.

A constant sound from hundreds of bell hung in the temple can be heard at a distance of about 800 meters from there. A flight of 80 stairs from the main road leads you to the garbhagriha of the temple or the place where the idol is kept.

Sandhya Aarti or evening prayers, enchantment of mantras and Maha-bhandara or grand feast organised at the temple occasionally is a special attraction for devotees and tourists.

The temple offers a stunning view of the snow-clad Himalayas and is known to possess miraculous powers. May Lord Kartikeya of Kanak Chauri bless us all with health, happiness and abundance!

Why do Chinese worship Lord Shiva's son Kartikeya?

Murugan is most popular amongst the Tamil people who revere Him as Thamizh Kadavul which means 'God of Tamils'. He is also worshiped in Rajasthan and in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, where he is known as Kartik Swami. What very few Hindus knows is that Kartikeya or Murugan is also worshiped by Chinese Buddhist as a protector of Buddhism in China.  

Chinese Skanda

Wei Tuo Pú-sà (bodhisattva Skanda/ Murugan) is recognized as one of the eight divine protectors in Chinese Buddhism. Iconographically, he appears as a majestic general in his armor.

Before entering Nirvana, Buddha ordered the general, who remained in this world, to protect the Buddha Dharma. After the death of Buddha, the relics were robbed by evil demons. The Bodhisattva Wei Tuo managed to overcome the demons and recovered the relics of Buddha.

Wei Tuo Pú Sà is regarded as a devoted guardian of Buddhist monasteries who guards faithfully the Buddhist treasures and the objects of the Dharma.

May Lord Wei Tuo Pú Sà who is also known as Murugan and Kartikeya bless us all!
