Vel Myil Dollar Chain – JCCH469

A Vel Myil (or Mayil Vel) pendant features two primary symbols associated with the Hindu deity Lord Murugan (also known as Kartikeya or Skanda):

Vel (Spear): The Vel is the divine spear gifted to Lord Murugan by his mother, Goddess Parvati.

Symbolism: It represents divine energy (Shakti), wisdom that cuts through ignorance and illusion, protection from evil, and spiritual clarity. Devotees wear it for inner strength, focus, and to ward off negative energies.

Mayil (Peacock): The Mayil is Lord Murugan’s celestial vehicle (vahanam).

Symbolism: The peacock represents beauty, righteousness, triumph over ego, and the destruction of negative habits, as Murugan used his peacock to slay the demon Surapadman, who then transformed into a peacock and a rooster.
