This is an observation of a Tamilian born in North India.
There are very few temples in North India dedicated to Lord Kartik.
Kartik is also presented in a horrible light in Purans. He is resentful, not loved by his parents, and generally banished from Kailash. This is depicted in the TV series Shiv-Shakti and others.

The North-South Divide: A Tale of Two Devotions
Despite his mythological significance, Kartikeya’s worship exhibits a distinct regional pattern. Here’s a breakdown of the contrasting trends:

South India: Kartikeya, known as Murugan, enjoys immense popularity in South India, particularly in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. Dedicated temples like the Thiruchendur Murugan Temple and the Palani Murugan Temple attract countless devotees throughout the year. His association with war resonates with the martial traditions of the South.
North India: In contrast, Kartikeya’s worship is less prominent in North India. While some temples dedicated to him exist, they are not as numerous or widely known compared to those in the South. Reasons for this disparity remain a subject of ongoing debate.

This is just an observation.

Just as there are many religions and many Gods that concept could be extended and applied for different regions. It is the mischievous who see an opportunity to exploit such diversities and sow wrong feelings among people.

Lord Muruga is most revered in Tamilnadu and trying to project a negative image of Him in the pretext of making an observation is condemnable.

As usual, you have a narrow and ignorant opinion.

There are smarter people on this site who can understand my opinion, so thanks for your ill advice, but I would encourage you, Mr. Sravna, to ignore the posts you can not understand. You can not hide the differences by sweeping under the rug.

One needn't be a rocket scientist to understand the mischief in something but only ability to discriminate the good from the bad. You can be smart and not wise.

The purported intent of the post is to make an observation. But in the process why should it be showing a most revered divinity in a negative way?

I can easily ignore the post and so will many others because it has no content and there is nothing to understand but people shouldn't be emboldened to say anything and think that no one should be critical of the observations they make.
