Story about the presiding deity:

According to our scriptures, Lord Kartikeya originated from the spilled seed of Lord Shiva to destroy Tarkasur. The heat emanating from this seed was so great that it was given to Agnidev for safekeeping. Even he could not hold it for long and handed it over to Ganga. The waters of Ganga started evaporating and she deposited this seed on the Sharavana reeds. The seed split into six children and the children were looked after by the six Krittikas. The six children cried loudly until Goddess Parvati came to see them. She combined them into one child. At her glance, the six-faced child became calm and his faces unified. This child was trained by Shiva, Shakti, Brahma, Saraswati, and Laxmi.

He then fought Tarkasur and killed him. This prompted Lord Shiva to ask Kartikeya the meaning of Om Kartikeya and he replied by saying he would only share his secret if he is given a place higher than Mahadev. By revealing this hidden secret in Lord Shivas’ ears, much to the delight of Goddess Parvati; young Skanda was lovingly given a place on Lord Shivas’ shoulder. Kartikeya is the energy that gives meaning to the strength of Om (Pranava).

This verse from the Skanda Shakta Stotram clearly describes the form and energy of Lord Kartikeya. Kartikeya, right from his birth, was aided by pure and powerful divine deities like Agni, Ganga, Krittikas, Laxmi, and Parvati. Since he was born out of the blazing seed of Lord Shiva, he is associated with the fiery planet of Mars.
