Think of something that is found in the sky and still resides beside Ganga (related to Shiva, obviously) The fourth letter will be N
7 down: When Anandi lost her heart and became a vehicle (5) Nandi...??
'lost heart' in Crossword terminology usually means to remove the middle letter/s (the heart) of a certain word. Here Anandi once has 'lost her heart' , see if you can get the name of a vehicle (related to Shiva, naturally)
15 Across: Pavitra totally shattered in front of Shiva's wife (7)
Again , a typical cryptic crossword clue. 'Shattered', 'disturbed', are all indications that one word (usually the one that is shattered/ disturbed )in the clue has to be re arranged to give the answer.
12 Down: A Mother- in law gives birth? (7)
I am surprised no one has cracked this. I thought it was fairly straight forward. Think of words that relate to 'giving birth' (not in English, naturally) and see if you can get the name of a certain Mother - in - Law .
Hope all of you can crack it now.
