A great warrior, commander of the army of the devtas in the battle between the Devta and the Asuras Skanda sits astride a peacock as he vanquishes his foes and straddles the earth with unerring swiftness. Although depicted astride a lion while holding the infanst Skanda in her arms the for armed goddess is also referred to as the padmasana Devi since her seat of choice is a lotus.
The gentleness and love of mother suffuce her and her blessing are that of peace, fulfillment and prosperity. She does not wield a weapon and holds instead two lotuses in her two up per hands. One of the lower had anchors the infant in her lap and the other is field out in a mudra symbolizing benediction. As the potent force and facet of the female energy, Skandmata claims as her own the vishudhhi chakra. Symbolized by a lotus with sixteen petals, this chakra is also know as the throat chakra and it is the chakra that symbolizes creativity and communication.

Skandamata Mantra :
सिंहासनगता नित्यं पद्माश्रितकरद्वया ।
शुभदास्तु सदा देवी स्कन्दमाता यशस्विनी ॥
सिंहासनगता नित्यं पद्माश्रितकरद्वया ।
शुभदास्तु सदा देवी स्कन्दमाता यशस्विनी ॥
