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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Brass with Red Enamel Rim Inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.4 inches | Depth: 0.5 inches | Weight: 60 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentral Figure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lord Murugan (Karthikeya \/ Subramanya \/ Skanda) — 4-armed standing Samabhanga pose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpper Hands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vel (divine spear, right) and Flag\/Banner (left)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLower Hands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abhaya Mudra (right) and Varada Mudra (left)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVahana:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peacock (Mayil) — on left side of pedestal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerpent (Naga):\u003c\/strong\u003e On right side of pedestal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHalo:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large circular Prabhamandala behind the deity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePedestal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ornate rectangular peetham with bell (Ghanta) and vessel in foreground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical pillar and curtain drapery motifs on sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngraving Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine golden brass line-art on deep black contrast antiqued background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red enamel inlay ring with golden brass bead-and-scallop petal border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plain mirror-polished golden brass with flat base ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e MRG-BR-6P4-001 | Country of Origin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Spiritual Significance of Lord Murugan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLord 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePuja Uses and Occasions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaily Murugan Puja:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place as the central offering plate in your Murugan puja room or altar — offer flowers (red lotus, marigold, banana flowers), Vibhuti (sacred ash), Kumkum, fruits, and sweets (Panchamrit, Paal Payasam, Modak)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkanda Sashti:\u003c\/strong\u003e The six-day Skanda Sashti festival (Kanda Sashti) culminating in Soora Samharam — use as the primary Murugan puja and Naivedyam plate throughout the six-day observance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThaipusam:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use as the altar offering plate during Thaipusam Kavadi puja and home Murugan worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVaikasi Visakam:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most auspicious star day of Lord Murugan (Visakam\/Vishakha nakshatra in the Tamil month Vaikasi) — use for special Murugan puja and Abhisheka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePradosham Puja:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offer on this plate during Pradosham (bi-monthly Shiva-Murugan fasting day) worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecorative altar display:\u003c\/strong\u003e Display on your puja shelf as a sacred Lord Murugan devotional plate between active puja uses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed temple-art Lord Murugan composition — 4-armed Samabhanga standing pose with Vel, flag, peacock vahana, Naga, Prabhamandala halo, and ornate pedestal — all in fine golden line-art engraving on black contrast background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60g solid brass — heavier and more substantial than the 40g Lakshmi plate series, reflecting the premium thickness of this Murugan plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed enamel rim with scalloped petal bead border — same elegant finishing as the full premium brass plate series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for Tamil Shaivite devotees, Murugan temples, and Tamil diaspora communities worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the plate with a dry soft cloth after each puja use to remove flower residue, Vibhuti, Kumkum, and Prasad.
