Skanda Shashti:
Skanda Shashti is the festival dedicated for Lord Karthikeya, second son of Lord Shiva, also known as Subramanya, Kumaresa, Guha, Murugan, Shanmukha and Velayudhan, who on this day, is believed to have annihilated the mythical demon. Shashti is the day the Lord Subramanya defeated the demon Soorapadman. He fought Soorapadman for six days, at the end of which Lord vanquished the asura. He threw his weapon at him and Soorapadman was split into two halves. One half became a Peacock, which he took as his vahana. The other became a Rooster and was transformed into his flag. The devas who were tormented by Soorapadman, rejoiced and they praised the Lord and prayed to him for six days.

Offering of Kavadi on Skanda Shashti is a form of popular worship. Corresponding to six days of war over the evil forces, devotees undertake fasts, prayers and devotional singing of Lord Muruga.
