Clues for the ones not solved as yet:

3 Down: Ganga's neighbour, yet is found in the sky (7) Chandra..?

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.






lolzz i think i could get only one answer tht seemed straight forward to me😆😆

rest i don't have as slighest clue..

12 Across: Prasuti.
Prasuti is the Sanskrit word for childbirth. Prasuti also happens to be Shiva's Mother-In-Law.

I know. In Gujarati, a Maternity home is known as "Prasuti Griha". Many Sanskrit & Gujarati words are same. Even the grammer is same.
That 1 answer was wrong.
