Deities

Mars relates to the war God, the Divine Warrior, called Skanda, Kartikeyya or Subrahmanya, the second son of Shiva and Parvati. He is the leader of the heavenly hosts like the Archangel Michael. The Greek God Ares and the Roman God Mars may be useful here also (though the ancient rituals for them are no longer available as are those for the Hindu Gods).
