Vaikasi Visakam, which usually occurs in May, is said to be the birth day of Lord Murugan. He was born to redeem creations from all evils. This festival, celebrated in South India, has a very deep meaning.
Vaikasi Visakam is the birthday of Lord Murugan, the son of Lord Siva. The divine birth of Lord Murugan, also known as Shanmuga, Subramania, Skanda (or Kanda in Tamil), Kumara, Saravana and Karthikeya, to free the Devas (gods) from their sufferings is believed to have occurred on the star day of Vaikasi Visakam. Visakam is one of the twenty seven stars or Nakshatras that form a monthly cycle.
