Thanks Leo.... a good one!
Wonder of wonders! The four-legged one -- a deity no less -- turning chain-snatcher!
A dilemma indeed.... this four-legged deity devouring the other deity Laxmi's effects - including poor Girija's chain!
No indication I suppose how long this derriere watch is to continue? ...and what if the cow decides on never sucking out the chain from one of its food-recall reserve chambers to masticate fully?
I am surprised though, the wise guys among the picnickers haven't come up with more ideas! ...especially on treatment for and of the derriere contents!

yesterday's toi-bengaluru had this piece:
chain snatcher sends village into tizzy
bagalkot: all eyes in bilagi are on a chain snatcher. this one is four-legged.
on friday girija, wife of the priest of rameshwar temple performed puja to goddess lakshmi. she then garlanded the deity, put her chain round its neck, went to the neighbours to distribute prasada.
seizing the opportunity a stray cow ambled in, chewed on the garland. when girija returned the cow was swallowing the last of her chain. she raised an alarm.
the village gathered, suggested she tether the cow in her compound. the vet told the family to wait a few days and search the dung for the chain. but to the dismay of the family the cow did not heed their prayers....the dung was there alright....but no chain.
now girija's house has turned into a picnic spot with villagers gathering daily, waiting for the cow to do the needful. it is five days since the cow ate the chain. the bullion dollar question: will the cow oblige?
the picture shows a forlorn girija sitting at her verandah, gazing expectantly the cow's derriere.
.......Leo
