Plot and story

This story shows about the life of Lord Murugan and about the Asura Surapadma. And this story will end with Sura Samhaaram.

Surapadman and his sister Aja Mukhi caused endless troubles to Murugan in his childhood. He sent countless asuras to destroy Murugan but all in vain. Murugan escaped each time when they tried to destroy him.

Murugan's childhood - Season 1

Murugan was created from Shiva's third eye and 6 sparks flew out and became babies on the Saravana River. Karthigai Women brought up Murugan( in the form of six children). They taught Asthras and Shastras to Murugan. Later on, Goddess Parvati became the mother when she joined the six children and that's how Murugan is known as Arumugam. Later the six Karthigai Women were blessed and became the Krithigai Nakshatram.

During one episode, Narada brought a Gnanapazham(ஞானப்பழம்) or Fruit of Knowledge and said that this competition is between Murugan and Ganesha. In this competition who goes around bhoomi or the Earth 3 times would win this fruit. Murugan started this journey while Ganesha didn't start. He started to go around his parents Shiva and Parvati 3 times (As circulating them is equal to rounding the earth). After Murugan finished the contest and returned to get the prize, he was disappointed with what Ganesha did. He was very angry with him and his parents. So he left Kailayam to find a place for himself with peace and he headed south – Tamil Nadu. He then found a place for himself, which is Palani(பழனி). Devas blessed him there and that place became divine place. At a stage, Tamil poet Nakkeeran and other poets were captured by Andasuran. He was an Asura who wanted his own language Karkhimukhi Jwala to exist. So he opposed Tamil-language and its popularity. Murugan fought with that Asura and helped Tamil poets get freedom. As a result of this, Tamil kings like Pallavas and Cholas praised him as Tamizh Kadavul Murugan or God of Tamils as he was the saviour of Tamil language.

To make Murugan to return to Kailayam, Shiva sent Avvaiyar Paati to convince Murugan. And when Murugan saw Avvaiyar, he tested her with some questions. When she asked about him and his problems, Murugan said everything that happened. So, Avvaiyar praised and advised Murugan. He then got convinced and realized his mistake and then returned to Kailayam.

Sura Samhaaram

Slowly, Murugan became an adult to be capable of fighting with Asuras. He sought the blessings of his parents, Parvati and Shiva. He then proceeded towards Mayapuri and invited Surapadma. In this battle, he fought with Tarakasuran and finally he killed him. Unable to bear his brother's death, Surapadma sent Kavundasuran to encounter Murugan. Murugan discussed war tactics with Devas and that Asura was also killed.

Other Devas were worried about their victory. They pleaded with Shiva and Shiva called for Veerabaahu to support Murugan in the war. Veerabahu requested Surapadman to avoid the war. But Surapadman refused his request. The battle continued. After a day of battle, Parvati gifted Murugan with a Sakthivel.

In the last day of battle, Murugan, with the help of Devas and Veerabahu, killed Surapadman.
