Subra Mani
Hello Friends,
Mani had many followers in South India. He was worshiped as a god in South India. Known as Subra (light)-Mani he is depicted as one flying on a peacock. He was believed to possess the power to transform himself and fly as a peacock.  Mani taught his religion at Tamil Sangam meetings. It is said that one of Mani's disciples tried to fly like a peacock. He was shot by an arrow and he died at Mylapore. There is a wealth of information on Mururuga/subra-mani. Lots of colorful images on this site and a CD for sale: Murugan Bhakti: Skanda-Kumara website These pictures are from the 1920s 1940s: Iconography of Skanda-Murukan: Gallery Two -Br.Bruce |
