Play by chandrashekara kambara. It's about how the worship of a veggi which resembles the male organ and it's further consumption helps a woman get her long desire, for kids. It's a nice play and well executed at RS. Insidentally a movie plan for the same play was also in news relating to Shankar Nag's demise. Shankar nag - death. It was quite moving to see Arundathi Nag at the screening of this play.
A recent visit to Bangkok exposed me to a similar traditon where, if a woman conceives (bangkok, well I dont see problems there with their culture - IMHO!), a wooden penis is placed in a temple sanctorium dedicated to this god of child giver. Quite interesting how we have changed a natural act of procreation into such an act of hush hush and quiteness among other things. More about it here
