Skanda Ṣaṣṭhī is Lord Murugan's festival of the bright half of Kartika, from Pratipada to Shashti. On Shashti, Soorasamharam: Lord Murugan's victory over the asura Surapadman. Devotees who have fasted for the six days break the fast after the Samharam, and the next day the Lord weds Deivanai in the Thirukalyanam.
