Origin of Lord Murugan
Friends,
Quite often I involve in this argument with my friend from Andhra. I use to claim that Murugan is Thamizh Kadavul and he hailed from Thamizhnaadu, I mean the origin. But he use to confront me saying maybe the name murugan is been used by Thamizhs here, but he was referred in north indian literatures earlier to he was referred in thamizh literatures. He use to claim that he was been referred in sanskrit lit long before by the names Skandha/Subramanyaswami.
Wiki doesn give enough info though:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murugan
http://www.sanatan.org/en/festivals/hindu/ksv2.htm
So, I have none other than the people here to enlighten me about this.
Please throw some light on this.

North indians or even kannadigas do know him as Karthikeya or skantha . I understand he isn't as popular as ganpathi or shiva. The popularity is more in south
All of his PADAI VEEDU stay put in south.
I feel muruga is the name tamizh language calls him, that does not mean his origin or claim is restricted to tamilnadu alone.
I aint too knowledgeable here and I wait for authentic talks or posts from the learned as much as you do.

AFAIK, Lord Muruga is known as ICON of Tamizh, Thamizh valarththa/kaaththa kadavul'num solvaanga .
I read somewhere as Lord Murugan was the founder of Madurai thamizh-changam

Thanks Prabha. and sarna.
I use to claim from the fact that, the arupadai veedu for his six faces are all located in TN..
in other lit/localities, do they consider him as a sixfacet god?

in fact Murugan is not originally even Indian.... the name SKANDA should give some hints...
BUT.... rishi moolam nadhi moolam aaraya koodaadhu enbaargal...
Never argue with a fool or he will drag you down to his level and beat you at it through sheer experience!
