@TradDeshastha@bombai_ka_babu Even in other parts of MH, Khandoba is a v popular kuladeva among Deshastas.
Interestingly I haven't come across any other form of Shiva who is a popular kuladeva among Deshastas
@maaniblr@Kul_Mimansaka@antasthaH@TradDeshastha As per one Marathi book I read sometime back on various V1 grps of MH, there are KYV Deshasthas. Tho seemed to be that many of them were in North KA. Will hv to check that again
@maaniblr@Kul_Mimansaka@antasthaH@TradDeshastha There are def many KYV Deshastas and many of them do marry w/ RV Deshastas since no diff in culture/traditions etc
Also there are SYV Kanvas found throughout the south states, not just mainland MH.
@Kul_Mimansaka@TradDeshastha Deshastas hv always been better than Chits.
Even now, we practice and preserve all our rich traditions, rituals etc unlike a lot of urbanized Chits
@pathaspati But contemporary worship of her is that of the protagonist in Silappadhikaram no? If she was rlly Lakshmi's form then shd bring it back + discourage what is happening now
