Brass Murugan Pooja Plate 6.4 Inch

Brass Murugan Pooja Plate 6.4 Inch - Engraved Lord Murugan with Vel and Peacock Vahana Puja Thali

Vel Muruga! This magnificent Brass Murugan Pooja Plate is a premium solid brass puja thali measuring 6.4 inches in diameter, 0.5 inches in depth, and weighing 60 grams, featuring a breathtakingly detailed fine line-art engraving of Lord Murugan — the Divine Commander, the God of War, Grace, and Wisdom — in his classic standing Samabhanga pose in full temple-art iconographic style. Lord Murugan is the most beloved deity of Tamil Shaivism and a principal deity across South India, Sri Lanka, and the global Tamil diaspora, worshipped as Karthikeya, Subramanya, Skanda, Shanmukha, and Kumara. This plate is a complete Murugan puja offering plate, Arati thali, Naivedyam tray, and sacred altar piece for daily Murugan puja, Skanda Sashti, Thaipusam, Vaikasi Visakam, and all Murugan festival worship.

The engraved composition fills the entire interior recessed surface of the plate with a complete temple-art Murugan composition: Lord Murugan is depicted standing in Samabhanga pose on an ornate rectangular peetham (pedestal), four-armed — upper right hand holding the Vel (divine spear of grace and wisdom, his primary weapon and symbol), upper left hand holding a flag or banner, lower right hand in Abhaya Mudra (protection and blessing), lower left hand in Varada Mudra (boon-granting gesture) — adorned with a tall ornate Kireedam crown, Yagnopavita (sacred thread across the chest), elaborate necklaces, armlets, waistband, and flowing lower garments. A large circular Prabhamandala (divine halo/aureole) frames the deity from behind. On the left side of the pedestal is Lord Murugan’s vahana — the sacred Peacock (Mayil) — shown standing with its characteristic plumage. On the right side is a Naga (serpent), a symbol of Murugan’s mastery over ego and lower nature. In the foreground at the base of the pedestal are small ritual items including a bell (Ghanta) and a vessel. Vertical pillar and curtain drapery motifs frame the entire composition on both sides. The complete engraving is rendered in fine golden brass line-art on a deep black contrast antiqued background. The outer rim features a wide red enamel inlay ring with a golden brass bead-and-scallop petal border. The reverse is plain mirror-polished golden brass with a flat base ring.

The Spiritual Significance of Lord Murugan

Lord Murugan — also known as Karthikeya, Subramanya, Skanda, Shanmukha (six-faced), Kumara, Senthil, and Arumugam — is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and the commander of the divine army of the gods (Deva Senapati). He is the supreme deity of Tamil Shaivism — the ‘Tamizh Kadavul’ (God of the Tamil people) — and one of the most widely worshipped deities across South India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Mauritius, and wherever Tamil communities have settled globally. His primary symbol is the Vel — the divine spear of grace, wisdom, and the piercing of the ego (Ahamkara) — given to him by Goddess Parvati to vanquish the demon Surapadma. The peacock vahana represents the conquest of ego, pride, and sensory desire. Murugan is invoked for grace, divine wisdom, victory over obstacles, removal of ego, spiritual liberation, success in education and examinations, healing of diseases, and protection from negativity and evil. His six faces (Shanmukha) represent mastery over the six enemies of the soul: Kama (desire), Krodha (anger), Lobha (greed), Moha (attachment), Mada (pride), and Matsarya (jealousy).

Care and Maintenance

Wipe the plate with a dry soft cloth after each puja use to remove flower residue, Vibhuti, Kumkum, and Prasad. To restore the golden engraving clarity, apply tamarind or lemon juice paste to the engraved brass interior only, rub gently with a soft brush to reach the fine engraved details (Vel, peacock feathers, Prabhamandala halo lines, deity jewellery, and pillar motifs), rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately. IMPORTANT: Do NOT apply acidic paste to the red enamel rim — clean the enamel ring only with a dry or barely damp soft cloth. Do not submerge in water. Store in a dry place away from moisture.
