Karthikeyaswar Puja or Kartik Purnima

The Legend of Lord Lingaraj:

The gods become disturbed by the tyranny of Tarakasur. In order to relieve the pain of God, Adyashakti Devi Parvati takes birth as a girl in the Himalayan house. She gets married to Lord Shiva. Kumar Kartikeya is born as the first son of Sri Parvati Parameswar. Kumar's name becomes


Kartikeya as he is followed by conspiracy. After being captured as Dev Senapati, while fighting with Tarkasur, Tarkasur is killed by Kumar. The gods get relief.


Kumar Kartikeya is worshipped in the name of Sanmukh, Crown Hand, Kumar, Kruttika Putra etc. The image of this deity may seem new to everyone but he is the original Kartikeya in the bed of Sri Lingaraj Mahaprabhu. As there are rules to visit the god according to the order of the god. Similarly, Kumar Kartikeya comes in third place after Shri Ganesh, Devi Gopaluni before the Darshan of Shri Lingaraj Mahaprabhu. Sri Lingaraj Mahaprabhu has been darshaned after Brushabha, Chandeswar, Kalpataru, Devi Savitri. The temple in front of Ekamreshwar in the bedha of Sri Lingaraj Mahaprabhu is of Sri Kumar. The idol of Bijay god Swayambhu and Atib are ancient in Garbha Deul. This temple was built for the Keshari dynasty in the eleventh century after Deul became ancient. Ganesh, Bhairav etc are there as side deities of the temple. Vehicle peacock in the foreground. Childless get children in his worship, victory in war is gained. The holy month of Kartik has been celebrated in the name of Shri Kumar.


On the day of Kartik Purnima, special worship is held near Sri Kartikeswar. After the evening incense of Pithadhish Sri Lingaraj Mahaprabhu, special puja, aalti and muan bhog is organized by Pujapanda near Sri Kumar.
