@ Jyo: It will be a
gandharva marriage ... that's what the horse is there for.
Whether it will be a Maaneet marriage is questionable in light of our new Geeky theoryππ
Quoting from http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Gandharva:
"The nature of the
Gandharvas is capricious, to say the least. ...
"Some are part animal: often their face was that of a bird, and their hindquarters were those of a
horse or donkey. This human-animal hybridity lead some nineteenth century scholars to draw a connection between the theonym
gandharva and that of the Greek
centaurs,
[2] although this ostensible association has been met with strong opposition from most Indo-Europeanists."
