Skanda, the eldest son of Lord Shiva, also known as Kumar Kartikeya. Kumar Kartikeya is worshiped on the 6th day of Skanda. Skanda Shashti is celebrated every month on the sixth day of Shukla Paksha.
It is believed that if one can remember Kumar Kartikeya and mother Parvati by fasting and worshiping on this day, the obstacles will be removed.
The Mantra for Skanda Puja
देव सेनापते स्कन्द कार्तिकेय भवोद्भव, कुमार गुह गांगेय शक्तिहस्त नमोस्तु ते॥
ऊँ ऐं हुं क्षुं क्लीं कुमाराय नमः
ऊँ नमः पिनाकिने इहागच्छ इहातिष्ठ
ऊँ नमः पशुपतये
Today worship is started by setting up a lamp urn and setting up an idol of Lord Ganesha.
May the glory of Skanda Shashti alleviate the sufferings of all.
