Today is a major holiday in Mexico to celebrate the birthday of Benito Juarez, a country hero, and while reading about him on Wikipedia, I found this: "Benito Juárez Marg is a major road in South Delhi near Dhaula Kuan. The famous Sri Venkateswara College is located on this road." :) It'd be great if, if you had a chance to be around there, to post something about it... you know, an India-Mexico connection! :)Super Babehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918152450121553718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430743085868957237.post-59856042614023763872011-03-21T18:20:16.543+05:302011-03-21T18:20:16.543+05:30Love Shiva!

It is a different deity; like a village guardian deity. For Ayyanar, the weapon you usually see is a "vel" or spear, not a three pronged trident (although when I googled I did find a trident photo)<br />See this: http://www.pbase.com/neuenhofer/ayyanar_a_powerful_village_godDeepahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076685280358127119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430743085868957237.post-83426410684546252822011-03-06T17:16:25.985+05:302011-03-06T17:16:25.985+05:30Kim, it's the correct photo.
