Goddess who evolved out of a figure made using a var

[SABA MYLVAGANAM]

 Hello!
  
 I want to know the story(ies)  of a  goddess who evolved out of a
" figure"  made using a variety of herbal plants. There are various versions
 of this story, as I understand.
 
Can the indology net give me a referance where I can read more 
about this? Your versions of the story would be also 
interesting.

We have "nava  paasanam"  in conjunction with "Skandar" (Palani 
Murugan).

Thanks and regards
