"Vetrivel! Veeravel!" ("Victorious Vel, Courageous Vel") was a commonly used battle cry by ancient Tamil kings and soldiers.[1]{{Kaumaram}} Hindu mythologyAccording to Hindu mythology, Goddess Parvati presented the Vel to her son Murugan as an embodiment of her power in order to vanquish the evil asura Soorapadman. According to the Skanda Purana, in the war between Murugan and Soorapadman, Murugan used the Vel to defeat all the evil forces of Soorapadman. When a complete defeat for Soorapadman was imminent, the asura transformed himself into a huge mango tree to evade detection by Murugan. But not fooled by Asura's trick, Murugan hurled his Vel and split the mango tree into two halves, one becoming Seval (a rooster) and the other Mayil (மயில்-தமிழ்) Tamil (a peacock). Henceforth, the peacock became his vahana or mount and vehicle and the rooster became the emblem on his battle flag. Vel, as a symbol of divinity, is an object of worship in the temples dedicated to Murugan. The annual Thaipusam festival celebrates the occasion when Murugan received the divine Vel from his mother. During this festival, some of the devotees pierce their skin, tongue or cheeks with vel skewers while they undertake a procession towards the Murugan temple. Adi-Vel is a major festival observed in Sri Lanka by Tamil Hindus in the month of July/August, known as Adi.[2] The festival take place cities such as Kathirakamam and Colombo.[3]GallerySee also
