Hindu Mars

In the Hindu pantheon, there are two gods identified with Mars: Karttikeya and Mangala
Karttikeya (god of war and a patron of thieves; often is portrayed with six heads) is the son of the firegod Agni and either the goddess Devasena or the Ganges river. He is mighty demonslayer, riding his peacock Parvani.
Mangala, an avatar of Shiva, is also linked with Mars; he is also a warrior god, riding a chariot drawn by fiery horses.
