Accordingly, Murugan invites Himavan & Menavati to join them, and asks them to hijack everybody @ Ganapati's party to his party.
Himavan goes back and describes the issue to Nandi, and they decide to split the party and send some ganas & devas to Murugan's party, and leave some w/ Ganapati.
That works out well for an extent - half the ganas & devas join Himavan & Menavati and turn up @ Murugan's party. Murugan asks Minakshi, Devasena & Asoka Sundari to cater to all of them. Since he doesn't like the high calorie Masala Dosa, Crisp Vadas, Rava Roast, Onion Sambhar, Coconut Chutney, he orders that it be served to everyone else in smaller quantities, so that it won't fatten them - at least not much anyway.
However, the issue arises on whose party would Mahadev, Parvati & Nandi themselves attend. Indra is not so much of a problem - neither Murugan nor Vinayak can stand him. However, how do they make them appear @ both parties?
Nandi then has a bright idea that everyone in Ganapati's party themselves go & crash Murugan's party. Murugan is told of this plan by Devasena, and smiles. He tells all 3 of them, 'Nandi may think that he's brilliant, but we'll see how much they like Masala Dosa, Crisp Vadas, Rava Roast, Onion Sambhar, Coconut Chutney after having laddos 😈'
Murugan is right. The party crashers hate having to have all that after having laddoos. Mahadev & Parvati arrive, and are welcomed and invited to have all that as well. Mahadev then starts doing the disappearing act of all the food, as if to demonstrate the supremacy of Annapurna. But Kartikeya puts the laddoos, and since they were made by Menavati, they too disappear. The ganas & devas want dessert, and Asoka Sundari offers them all Panchamritam, but Mahadev finishes it, and Asoka is upset and starts bawling. Mahadev & Parvati are forced to sit w/ her for another story telling session - this time of Parashurama. Happy to get them out of the way, Murugan has Minakshi & Devasena prepare another round of Panchamritam, and serves them to all the ganas & devas, and piques Ganesh once again 😆
Party ends in a stalemate & Nandi is relieved that it didn't become a bigger fiasco as a result of this sibling rivalry.
