Thuthipporku valivinaipom thunbampom…

Skanda Shasti Vratam is observed once a year in the month of “Aippasi” (October-November) starting from the “piratamai” the 1st phase of the brightening moon.

It’s the day when Lord Muruga vanquished the demon Surapadman who was terrorising the worlds. Lord threw his divine spear ‘Sakthi Vel’ at a Vanni tree where Surapadman was hiding….splitting it into two parts…which in turned into Peacock and Rooster…zealous devotees of Skanda.
