General definition (in Hinduism)
: WikiPedia: HinduismKartikeya is the Hindu god of war. He is the commander-in-chief of the army of the devas (gods) and the son of Shiva and Parvati. Kartikeya symbols are based on the weapons 鈥� Vel, the Divine Spear or Lance that he carries and his mount the peacock. He is sometimes depicted with many weapons including: a sword, a javelin, a mace, a discus and a bow although more usually he is depicted wielding a sakti or spear. This symbolizes his purification of human ills. His javelin is used to symbolize his far reaching protection, his discus symbolizes his knowledge of the truth, his mace represents his strength and his bow shows his ability to defeat all ills. His peacock mount symbolizes his destruction of the ego.
The Atharva Veda describes Kumaran as 'Agnibhuh' because he is form of 'Agni' (Fire God) & Agni held him in his hands when Kumaran was born. The Satapatha Brahmana refers to him as the son of Rudra and the six faces of Rudra.

[碍腻谤迟颈办别测补 is the Mars or the god of war of the Indian mythology. He is the son of 艢iva (but born without the direct intervention of a woman). Most of his epithets have reference to the circumstances of his birth. 艢iva cast his seed into Agni (who had gone to the god in the form of a dove, while he was enjoying P膩rvat墨's company), who being unable to bear it cast it into the Ganges; (hence Skanda is called Agnibh奴, Ga峁単膩putra). It was then transferred to the six K峁泃tik膩s (when they went to bathe in the Ganges), each of whom therefore conceived and brought forth a son. But these six sons were afterwards mysteriously combined into one of extraordinary form with six heads and twelve hands and eyes, (hence he is called 碍腻谤迟颈办别测补, 峁d膩nana, 峁峁噈ukha &c.). According to another account the seed of 艢iva was cast by the Ganges into a thickest of reeds (艢ara); whence the boy was called 艢arava峁嘺bhava, or 艢arajanman. He is said to have pierced the mountain Krau帽cha, whence his name Krau帽chad膩ra峁嘺. He was the commander of the army of the gods in their war with T膩raka, a powerful demon (q. v.) whom he vanquished and slew; and hence his names Sen膩n墨 and T膩rakajit. He is represented as riding a peacock.]
