Presenting an early-era rarity, the the Pra Khanta Kumarn Maha Taep Nak Rob Sawan Taepa Jao Haeng Songkram 2545 BE First Edition amulet from Kroo Ba Krissana Intawano . Hand Painted Skanda War God of Shiva Deity amulet, this version being with blue pants, and green-purple peacock arch. The amulet measures 3.5 x 5 Cm and can be prayed to in the same way as all Kumarn Tong. A popular amulet for wealth attraction, promotion or elevation of status, business success and lottery.

The Pra Khanta Kumarn amulet uses a Wicha that has its origins in Hinduism. The Khanta Kumarn is a Hindu Wargod Deity who the ancient folk of India have revered since ancient times over thousands of years, up to the present day. The Blessings of the Pra Khanta Kumarn are highly reputed for bringing success and victory in one's endeavours, and great wealth accumulation.

The Pra Khanta Kumarn amulet depicts a Handsome Young Man who is Brave and Able in battle against Combatants in Wartime. The Deity is designed in exquisitely detailed hand painted colours, within a decorative arch that hints at the shape of two Peackocks leaning in towards the Khanta Kumarn. In Hindu Legend, the God Skanda rides a peacock called Paravani, and this is what is represented in the arched frame border pattern, The Kumarn is standing over the Pra Rahu Asura Deva Eclipse God. In most cases, the Pra Khanta Kumarn would be featured holding weaponry, as he was in some legends a fierce mountain dwelling war god, with bloodbthirsty instincts.

But in this version, his victories should be financial and professional and social, of status and wealth, more than the art of war. Hence, this emanation holds a bundle of gold instead of weaponry.

Who Is Pra Khanta Kumarn?

In Thai Legend, the Pra Khanta Kumarn Deity is the son of the God Shiva and the Goddess Kali-Parvati, and hence a Princely God of the Highest Celestial Heavens. Pra Khanta Kumarn is the Head of the Armies of the Heavens, when needed to subdue the Asura Demons who attack the Heavens. In ancient Hindu Legend, there are many different tales of the God Skanda (Pra Khanta Kumarn), only one of which attributes the God to being the son of Shiva. There are many forms or representations of the Deity.

In all legends however, the most common feature of Skanda was his youth. He is India's version of what would be known later in Europe as Peur Aeturnus - the eternal youth, representing not chronological age but an attitude of optimism and joyful vigor. Sculptural representations always show him as Trishikin - having three locks of hair, the mark of the eternal youth -- Kumara.
