Surapadman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surapadman being slain by Murugan

Surapadman is a demon of Sri Lanka who was slain by Lord Muruga in Hindu mythology.

Surapadman was a Brahman, the sin of Brahma Hatti affected Subrahmanya. He became pitch black in complexion. As a result of this he prayed at Sikkal, bathed in the milk of Kamadhenu, the celestial cow, and got back his beautiful form and complexion. This is why Murugan is worshipped as Singaravelar at Sikkal in the Tanjore district.
