Tamil Hindu priests perform a special abhishekam honouring Lord Murugan during the Sooran Por Festival at a Tamil Hindu temple in Ontario, Canada, on November 13, 2018. An abhishekam (abhiseka, abhisheka) is conducted by priests by pouring libations over the deity being worshipped as mantras are chanted. Usually, offerings such as milk, yogurt, ghee, honey, panchamrita, sesame oil, rose water, sandalwood paste may be poured among other offerings depending on the type of abhishekam being performed. Sooran Por (also called as Sooran Poor, Sooran Porr, Soorasamharam, Surasamharam) is the re-enactment of the Battle of Lord Murugan and Soorapathman. According to legend, Lord Murugan defeated the demon Soorapathman (Sooran) and his army with the sacred Vel (lance) given to him by his mother. Lord Murugan fought for six days, and on the last day he liberated the Devas (Gods) from Asuras (demons). Sooran Por is held to celebrate the victory on the sixth day at dusk.
