Significance

Lord Murugan, the warrior son of Shiva and Parvati, carries the vel – the divine spear granted by his mother – and is worshipped as the remover of obstacles and the granter of courage. The kavadi is a decorated burden carried by devotees as a vow of thanks or petition, most famously during Thaipusam, making this a much-loved form among Murugan devotees.
