Haridra Ganapati[edit]

(

... that worshippers of Haridra Ganapati used to brand the image of the god on their palms?

New enough, long enough, QPQ, hook short enough. None of the references are viewable except the first one, and I could not find any line that supported the sentence, "Haridra Ganapati is also known as Ratri Ganapati." Could you tell me what page, in case I just missed it? Did not have access to the other sources, so have to assume in good faith.

As for the hook, worshipers is misspelled and I think a wikilink to Human branding would be good, but other than that it's good. static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 14:33, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ, Thanks for the review. British/Indian spelling is used for worshippers. [1] p. 59 for Ratri Ganapati. IAST is used in ref. first line of second last para. Changed the wording of hook a little (removed patron).Redtigerxyz ^Talk 14:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Whoops, my bad about the British spelling. And thanks, I found the ref you mentioned. static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 15:32, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Hook tweaked. "brand" linked to Human branding, and "by iron" removed as it seems to add little, and branding is always by iron. Edwardx (talk) 09:23, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
