influence, especially South India, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Mauritius and
Reunion Island. His six most important shrines in India are the
Arupadaiveedu temples, located in
Tamil Nadu.
In Sri Lanka,
Hindus as well as

Nallur Kandaswamy temple in
Jaffna and the
sacred Buddhist and Hindu shrine or
Kataragama temple (also in
Sinhala "Katharagama Devalaya") dedicated to him, situated deep south in the
country.[1]
Chinese in Penang, Kuala Lumpur, of Malaysia also pray to Lord Murugan during
Thaipusam.
Lord Murugan is more popular in South India especially among Tamil people famously referred as Thamizh Kaduvul (God of Tamils) compared to other parts of India. He is the patron deity of the Tamil land (Tamil Nadu).[2] Like most Hindu deities, He is known by many other names, including Senthil (Smart), Saravaṇa, Kārtikeya (meaning 'son of Krittika' ), Arumugam, Sanmuga(from Sanskrit Ṣaṇmukha), Shadanana (meaning 'one with six faces'), Kumāra (meaning 'child or son'), Guhan or Guruhuha (meaning 'cave-dweller'), Skanda (meaning 'that which is spilled or oozed, namely seed' in Sanskrit),[3] Subrahmaṇya, Vēlaṇ and Swaminatha.[4] In Indonesia, the name Kartika is more commonly a girl's name.
In Durga Puja in Bengal, Murugan is considered to be a son of Parvati along with his brother Ganesha and his sisters Saraswati and Lakshmi.[5]
