yep, you are right Kanchana

I don't know how
anjarai petti got into my head...

As to how I wrote about Pillayaar, I undersatnd.
Because Ambai wrote a story on Ganesh Chathurthi
and the environmental degradation caused when
dumping huge plaster of paris idols in ocean.(
at that time, in Chennai people had to cut off
hands, heads of these idols to take it to ocean).
Story ends somewhat like the novel "Chemmeen" with a fish washed ashore and having iron rod in its mouth ( which was used for making the idol). This story came long time back in India Today.

Anyways, thread viewers excuse me for the
digression.
