He got his daughters married to the Seven Sages and in one instance had Lord Shiva as his son in law.
Hindus have identified the hand of Prajapati in a Stellar Constellation.
“As these stars were utilized by the Arabs in forming their exaggerated Asad (lion), so also were they by the Hindus in the immense Praja–pati, of which they marked the hand, — this title being duplicated for Orion, and much better known for that constellation. The head of the figure was marked by Citra, our Spica, and the thighs by the two Vicakhas, alpha and beta Libra; while the Anuradhas, delta, and pi Scorpio, formed Praja-pati’s standing-place. Incongruously enough, they considered Nishtya, or Svati, — our star Arcturus, — as the heart; but as this was far out of the proper place for that organ, Professor Whitney substituted iota, kappa, and lambda Virginis of the manzil and sieu.”

Here He confers with Hanuman in Private.

There is a platform to commemorate Sri Hanuman’s mighty leap to Lanka over the sea. There is a long granite stone at one end of this platform and it symbolizes the sea. Devotees com running and leap over this long stone. By doing this, auspicious result is expected especially for the better health and life of children.
The favourite offering of Sree Hanuman is “Wet Avil ( Pothi Avil)” and another important offering is “Kadalai” plantain.

Sree Lakshmana is positioned to the West, within the temple complex but a few meters away from Sree Rama, outside the periphery of Naalambalam. It is believed that Sree Lakshmana was keeping himself at a small distance away, deliberately. Presumably to avoid being privacy to cue-word ( Abhignana Vaakyam ) that Sree Rama was confidint in Hanuman.
What could be greater than being the Husband, that too who is Himself never born?
Now such a wife’s wish, how great , noble, endearing,powerful and auspicious!
In the case of Kamakshi She is the One who grants one’s wishes .
Meenakshi protects and showers Blessings with Her Eyes.(Meenakshi in Tamil denotes one who protects with Her looks) and Lord Shiva in his Avatar as Lord Somasundarar is known only as the Husband of Meenkashi. the Ruler of Madurai.
No wonder a Great Poet as Kannadasan refers to Meenakshi!

Hindus need not be bothered by these and the likes of MF Husain.
They get creative when they quote or Paint The Obscene and relate to Hinduism, in the name of Creativity.
Hindus and Hinduism need not bother about the Perverts and the chorus of Liberals supporting this ‘Freedom”

South African artist Reshma Chhiba has upset some and impressed others for turning a women’s jail in Johannesburg previously used to house anti-apartheid activists into a 39 foot high red fabric vagina surrounded by black fabric pubic hair that occasionally screams. You have to take your shoes off to step inside.
The exhibition is called “The Two Talking Yonis” and is largely inspired by the Hindu goddess Kali. According to the Agence France-Presse, it is a commentary “on the mythology of female power in patriarchal systems.” Chhiba explained:
“It’s a screaming vagina within a space that once contained women and stifled women,” she told AFP. “It’s revolting against this space… mocking this space, by laughing at it.”
Chhiba says that she didn’t make this installation just for controversy’s sake but to press people to think about their bodies differently, especially in a country like South Africa, which has such high rates of rape and sexual assault:
“You don’t often hear men talking about their private parts and feeling disgust or shamed,” as women often do, she said.
“And that alone speaks volumes of how we’ve been brought up to think about our bodies, and what I am saying here is that it’s supposed to be an empowering space.”
Some have found the piece shocking, taking issue both with the installations placement in this historic jail, its subject matter and, for some Hindus, its involvement of their religion. Chhiba says she doesn’t understand the controversy behind her work, explaining herself articulately inthis radio interview. In response to her male interviewer who started off asking her how to explain the installation because he was “a little uncomfortable because I don’t know how to refer to it,” Chhiba said, “You are definitely correct in calling it a vagina”:
“The idea is that you’re completely contained and consumed by this representation of something that is meant to be a space that is of power and defiance.
It sort of recalls in a general way those touch-tunnels in children’s museums where it’s totally dark and you have to use all your senses but sight. Except less frightening and more fun to lie around in.’
