Kartikeya - English

Discover the mystery of the enigmatic and misunderstood son of Mahadeva, KARTIKEYA. The fires of extreme devastation, intense longing, and desperate need gave birth to Kartikeya. The most lethal of Mahadev's dreadful abilities were contained within him. He killed many rulers and fought in several battles, but his greatest contributions to mankind have always been kindness, love, and compassion. How is this made possible? There have never been sufficient solutions for Kartikeya. Was it indeed a slice of fruit that caused him to leave his family? What about the ladies in his life? Was he their defender or the ravisher that he is often accused of being? Was he a kind family guy or a vicious warrior who delighted in hunger for blood? What was his relationship with Ganesha, his more well-known sibling? In an effort to provide answers, Anuja Chandramouli skillfully blends myth, fantasy, and folklore to tell the tale of Kartikeya, one of the most mysterious gods, for contemporary readers.
