Sashti is the day the Lord Subramanya defeated the demon soorapadman. When the devas couldn't tolerate the evil doings of this demon, they approached the younger son of Lord Shiva and Parvati for his assistance he fought soorapadman for six days, at the end of which the Lord vanquished the asura. He threw his weapon at him and soorapadman was split into two halves. One half became a peacock, which he took as his vahana. The other became a cock and was transformed into the flag.
