Synopsis
AN EXQUISITE EXPLORATION OF THE MURUGAN UNIVERSE―MYTHOLOGICAL\nFICTION UNLIKE ANY OTHER\nMurugan, Skanda, Kandhan, Karthikeya, a god of many names and many aspects. He is the\ngod of Tamil and of poetry, of writers and lovers, but also of war and bravery. Born of Shiva’s\nthird eye and of the combined powers of Shiva and Shakti, Murugan is also the younger\nbrother of a fiercely protective and all\-seeing Ganesha. Mahasena, Book One of the Murugan\nTrilogy, explores the difficult path that the boy\-god must walk before he can grow from a\npampered and much\-loved child to the battle\-ready warrior that Creation needs him to be―\nhis poet at hand on the battlefield.\nThe fiction debut by poet Kala Krishnan Ramesh carries her exquisite exploration of the\nMurugan universe to the world of prose. Mythological fiction unlike any other

The only one who can counter his might and his challenge to the rules of creation is Karthikeya, child of Shambhu and Uma, and brother to Ganesha, the all-seeing elephant-headed god.Kala Krishnan has been exploring the Murugan universe for years now.
