Karthikeyan: the child that was brought up by the Karthigai ladies. That is why Vratam(fasting) is observed on the days with Karthigai star.
Kangeyan: The Lord took his avatar at the confluence Nutana Ganga and Poigai water sources, Hence this name.
Swaminathan: means the preceptor for his father(Siva). We know that Kumara had the privilege of teaching the 'Pranava' mantra 'Om' and the essence of Veda to Siva.
Apart from this, many other names like 'Sevvel'(Sevvezh) Senthil Andavar, Thanikachalam, Valli manalan, Dhandayuthapani, Kaliyuga Varadhan, saravana bhava are also used in our worship of the deity.
Lord Kumara is usually worshipped in temples located on the top of small mountains. Temple means(in tamil) the place where the deity is present and for Lord Muruga six important temples are very famous abodes and this group of temples is called 'Arupadai Veedu' which is very famous among the devotees. Let us see these six temples:
Tirupparangunram: This is the first house or temple located in 'Kurinji' area. This also known as Tirupparangiri, Kanda Maadanam and Kantha Malai.
This is the place where the Lord,after vanquishingSurapadma's forces and rescuing the Devas from the prison, married Devendra's daughter, Deivanai and gracefully seated as Subramaniaswamy.
