86.H2O

Trying a theme question. Hope its good. First crack the questions and connect all the answers

1.Shantanu was a king who ruled Hastinapura once. He fell in love with X. X said that she will marry him on condition that he must not question any of her activities. They both married and had a child. But X took the child to a river and drowned him. Though A became downhearted, he did not question her due to his word. X kept doing this to the subsequent six children. The last child was saved because Shantanu interrupted. X left him because he breached his oath and left the child with him. The child later went on to take the "Bhishana Prtignya" and become one of the most important characters in an epic in India. Identify X.
2.What was represented by the following symbol?

Iteru.png

3.What is the basic plot of this movie?

Well the fourth question was not Irrawady Dolphins. It was La Plata Dolphins. The connect which I was looking for was "The Rivers represented in Statue of Four Rivers" by Bernini. Good cracks.
