In Bengal, a festival that pays homage to Tamil war god
Vel Vel has its origins in Hindu mythology, particularly in the pantheon of Indian gods with many incarnations.
One such deity is Kartikeya, also known as Murugan, who is revered as the god of war, especially in Southern India.Murugan is the son of Parvathi and Shiva, and the brother of Ganesha. His worship extends beyond India to countries such as Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Malaysia, where significant Tamil populations have migrated.
The 'Vel Festival' is a prominent celebration held annually in Bandel, located in West Bengal’s Hooghly district. It is observed by those of Tamil origin before Chaitra Sankranti, typically in the first week of April.
This festival commemorates the spirit of austerity and heroism associated with Murugan. The term 'vel' refers to the spear, symbolizing the weapon of choice for the Tamil war god.
In Bandel, the festival takes place at the Olai Chandi Temple premises and follows the annual Shitala Puja.
During the festival, devotees engage in ritual bathing in a pond, followed by a symbolic act of piercing their cheeks, tongues, or foreheads with a whip or a spear.
Those who undergo these piercings are honored by others pouring water at their feet and seeking their blessings as they proceed towards the temple.
