3D modely ARTKarttikeya at The Art Institute of Chicago, IllinoisTitle Karttikeya, God of War, Seated on a Peacock Artist Unknown sculptor Date Ganga Period, c. 12th century Medium Basalt Dimensions 150.5 x 121 x 39 cm Accession # 1962.203 Credit Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvain S. Wyler Karttikeya, the god of war, is known by various names, including Skanda, Kumara, and Shanmukha, as well as Murugan in southern India, where he is very popular. This monumental granite sculpture is probably from the Madanapalle region of Andhra Pradesh. Carved in the round and riding a peacock, the commander of the gods is shown with six heads (shanmukha) and twelve arms, ten of which hold aloft weapons. The multiple arms and heads of Hindu deities usually denote their superhuman power. According to legend, Karttikeya was born from the split seed of the Hindu divinity Shiva. He developed his six heads in order to nurse from his six mothers, the Pleiades (or Krittikas- hence his name, Karttikeya), a constellation of stars. The complex accounts of his miraculous birth and heroic exploits indicate that his character combines several streams of folk belief.
