Answers!
1. George Harrison and his troupe (Radha Krishna Temple)
2. Legolas & Gimli. Gimli is a dwarf and carries an axe
3. Menhir+ Goscinny/Uderzo=Obelix who loves boar
4. Flounder the fish
5. Abdul baha, shrine of Bahaiullah
6. Prahalad Kakkar
7. Agumbe in Tirthahalli district where Malgudi days was televised
8. Palden Lhamo the protectress of Tibet(she is also the consort of Mahakala) & guardian spirit of the sacred lake, where Tibetan monks go for visions in the hope of discovering the reincarnations of the Dalai Lamas.
9. A Lo-Shu square or a Lo Shu Tortoise
10. Kalidasa Smarak in Nagpur, Klidasa is the author of RaghuVAMSHam
11. Parshvanatha
The theme is Vishnu Avatars!
A note on clues—->
1. Gimli can lead to Parusharama(axe) or Vaamana(dwarf)
2. Bahaiullah was supposedly kalki
3. Tirthahalli is called Tirthahalli because Parusharama wiped off the blood from his axe in the river Tunga near Tirthahalli or as Malcaluffin recognized Malgude days was illustrated by R K Laxman and hence the Rama connect
4. Dalai Lamas are considered to be BUddhas reincarnation
5. Raghuvamsham is the tale of Rama’s ancestors
6. Parshvanatha was a bad clue! PArshvanatha has a Hood of snake, and Balarama-the avatar of Sheesha was Krishna’s elder brother

Good one this monthly! Like the intertwining. Very evident theme yet not quite evident!
Thank you Thank you 🙂
Hmmm.. Another legend states that Parashurama washed his axe in a river near the present day AihoLe. Someone apparently saw the river turning red and exclaimed Ai! HoLe.
But, like I said. They’re both just legends. So both are as true.
