   Thanks for the new quiz.
   I tried and got 8 out of 10. I feel sad that my first answer went wrong.
   The last answer was little surprize as could not guess or link the answer to the art of painting.
   Any how I enjoyed answering the quiz.
   “Karmanyevadhikaraste Maa phaleshu kadachan”

   I forgot to answer the common link. The common link is I guess that all are related to Lord “Rama” or “Ramayana Storey” in some way or the other.

   Once again an excellent quiz. While some of the questions were tricky, some of them made me realise that there is still a lot to learn.
   At my age and the exposure I have had, my score should be just 10. But, that is not the case. My score again is 8.
   My compliments to the quiz master for keeping the interest alive all through the exercise.
   You are adding significant value by improving awareness about our culture and religion. Moreover, your quiz inspires me to be on the learning curve.

   Regards and best wishes,
   Ajey.
