సంతలో షావుకారు — ఊరిలో ఉద్యోగదారు, గట్టుమీద గంగరాయుడు?

వివరణ

This riddle plays on multiple meanings of 'vibhuti' (sacred ash): it appears white like a barber's soap (used in shaving), serves a bureaucratic function like an office worker (ash is applied ceremonially), and sits prominently like a deity on a fort (ash marks the forehead). The riddle's cleverness lies in how vibhuti/sacred ash embodies all these contrasting roles simultaneously.
