A longline, neatly sculpted murti of Lord Karttikeya. Upwards from the plinth, perfect symmetry ceases to be the defining aspect of the work. Lord Karttikeya stands with the hips laterally jutting out a little. Raises the right hand in the abhaya mudra, with a long, blunt-headed weapon balanced against the crevice of the elbow.
Behind the standing Karttikeya is His vahana, the peacock, in a dynamic, walking stance. At the end of its long neck, is the head turned frontally. Its ornate plumage - sculpted and engraved in great detail by the artisan - rises above the head of Karttikeya and forms a kind of an aureole. At the talons of the peacock is a snake, whose presence is symbolic of Karttikeya’s father, Shiva.
Multitudinous engravings on the body of the standing figure convey attire and adornment and musculature. The face, however, is the most strikingly lifelike aspect of them all, despite being executed with minimal engravings.
