Kandhan Karunai

Synopsis

According to the legends, there was a demon named Tarakasura who asked for the boon that he should only be killed by Lord Shiva or his son. He knew very well that Lord Shiva was an ascetic and He would not marry or have children. Hence, Tarakasura would be invincible. However after much ado, Lord Shiva finally married Goddess Parvati. Since Parvati couldn't conceive due to the curse, Lord Shiva went into a meditative state, combining his a and Mother Parvati's energies, he made a blazing sphere emerging out of his third eye. Finally the fire ball took the form of a baby with six faces. He was first spotted and taken care of by six water nymphs who represented the Pleiades or the Krittikas. So, the divine child was known as Karttikeya or the son of the Krittikas. The story is about how this kid kills Tarakasura and becomes the commander-in-chief of the gods
