Being a Wamangi happens only after the marriage.

VaraaliI just saw your response now - thanks for answering this. So this is what she called him?Just my guess. Based on what ' vinaayak' means. There doesn't seem any other reason why he should bear that name.Originally posted by: .Vrish.I asked Tan about your question - b'cos I myself don't know the answer to this one. Despite being a Bong, I happen to believe in Lakshmi being the daughter of Varuna/Varuni, while Saraswati was created by Brahma. I don't believe multiple versions of conflicting stories, so certainly not this one about Lakshmi & Saraswati being daughters of Durga. For this serial, just imagine a daughter doing the varan for her mom during the latter's grihapravesh
I understand that regional variations will not stand in front of puranic scrutiny. That's why I asked what is the local "Bong" legend behind Lakshmi and Saraswati being Durga's daughters. Even a full length cartoon has been made showing Karthik, Ganesh, Lakshmi and Saraswati as siblings.Further, in the "Bong" tradition, Ganapati is married to the Banana plant, right? And this place on the fifth day of Navaratri, right? So any stories on this, as well ?
