Daily darshan

[Aupmanyav]

Where is Mayuravahana? The larger family:

Heh, heh, problems galore. Who is the girl with Shiva? Santoshi Mata? And along with Skanda, who is the other boy? Oh, these Hindus! Always keep coming up with new things.

Poor man's Devasthanam

 

[DeviChaaya]

@Aupmanyav I recognise Shiva, Ma, Skanda and Ganesh. Who are the other two?

 

[Aupmanyav]

The girl sitting on Shiva's lap is Manasa Devi, daughter of Shiva and Parvati and sister to Ganesha and Kartikeya. Manasa - Wikipedia

I have no clue about the handsome boy standing near Parvati and Ganesha. He has a sword in his hand.
Oh, these Hindus! They don't even know their Gods (and Godesses).

Vanakkam,

She looks like more bala Lalita (bala Tripura Sundari) I think ?

Manasa Devi is often showed as adult and with snakes as she is their Goddess

Aum Namah Shivaya

 

[Aupmanyav]

Thanks for the information, Jaya.

It's not Bala Sundari as She is a young form of Parvati. It is Ashoka Sundari, whom Parvati creates out of an Ashoka tree. Like Murugan is deeply loved by Parvati, Ashoka Sundari is extremely dear to Shiva. I went and looked it up... Still don't know who sword boy is.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Thanks Chhaya. Ashokasundari is described in Wikipedia.

[Fireside_Hindu]

The only reference I can find to a male Hindu God with a Sword is a form of Vishnu called "Nandaka" and the Avatar, Kalki. The other possibility is it is another form of Murugan, but try as I might I can't find visual evidence of this.

 

[Devaki]

Namaste everyone, I'm new here.

I think the boy could be Ayyappan, notice the bell around his neck.

Oh, nice catch, Devaki! Also welcome!

 

[Aupmanyav]

Welcome Devaki, and many thanks for the explanation.

Is that the statue near the highway? There is one near a major highway, it may be near Delhi.
