Brihaspati is being played by Pankaj Kalra - our Dasharath from AS Ramayan. Now remember?

We touched on this in both the Doubts & Discussions thread here, as well as in the first Games thread in the Mytho Masti forum. There are 2 totally conflicting accounts b/w the North Indian Skanda Puranas, and the South Indian Kanda Puranas.
In the North Indian Skanda Puranas, there was no Surapadman or Simhamukha, only Taraka, who got killed by Kartikeya. In this version, Kartikeya was the elder son of Shiva & Parvati and Ganesh was the younger. This purana also has the account of a contest b/w Kartikeya and Ganesh on who would be the first to marry, and the contest was circumnavigating the world. Kartikeya took off, Ganesh just went around his parents and claimed that they were the universe, got married, and Kartikeya vowed to remain a bachelor.
In the South Indian Kanda Puranas, you have Surapadman, Simhamukha and Kraucha, and here, you have Ganesh as the older son. In this account, after he killed the above, Kartikeya was rewarded by Indra w/ Devasena's hand in marriage.
Since the Devasena account may not be widely known particularly in the North, and this serial is in Hindi, it's an open question as to whether they'll show Kartikeya marry. Since this serial itself is about Shiva/Parvati, they may not show either of the 2 sons marry.
Personally, I wish they'd show Kartikeya being born first, marrying Devasena, and Ganesh after his adventures marrying his wives w/o bringing in this contest story. But that's just me.
Also, Nahusha being put on the throne sounded out of character. The Devas could have made Surya - Indra's older brother - their ruler. Or they could have put Jayanta on the throne, if the same succession rules of kshatriyas applied to devas. I just don't see why they had to import somebody from earth, and then, when he got too arrogant, he got cursed into becoming a python before being liberated generations later by Yudhisthir.
