Something that Shiva keeps with him, can't live with what his wife Durga keeps with her, on our earth. What's that? #DharmaQuiz 1374. Ans: His vehicle Nandi or the Bull.
{Final, Open till 10 PM} What's on Shiva's upper body, that in real world, can't live with something you see with Ganesha. #DharmaQuiz 1375. Ans: Snake (Ganesh's vehicle is Mouse)
