I know that this board is there to cover shows, and I'm fine w/ that - whether it's older ones from RS, or more recent ones. For a banner, like I said above, I'm fine w/ either 'original' god pics or snippets from the various shows. I just don't want 4 Hanumans, 5 Krishnas, et al, when it's about a whole range of deities.
I know what you mean re: Meera, but regardless of whether the miracles that are believed about her happened or not, she is not a mythological character. I mean, people who are athiest may doubt whether any of the characters mentioned above exist, but there was never that question about Meera. She belongs in the same genre as figures like Buddha, Mahavira, Ramakrishna, et al. If somebody wanted to discuss Sai Baba or other godmen, they could, but those wouldn't qualify as mythological figures either, since their existance is not in question. Note that mythological doesn't mean saintly: it implies characters in the Hindu pantheon whose existance depends on one's faith - sort of like Greek or Norse gods, such as Zeus or Thor.
Of course, in the topics, one could discuss Meera & all that. But please, don't put her there alongside Rama, Shiva, Sita, Krishna and all of them.
(1) Meera comes in the category of Tulasidas & all and not Lakshman-Bharat-Hanuman. We are even going to exclude Vibhishan I guess
