Lattice given as illustration for 9a in the CW of 6 Feb 11 (slightly modified to avoid more than two consecutives unches ,but probably still breaks some rules. Maybe too much black space)

    The setter is alluding to the pic of a lattice that the Col. had used for an answer in the crossword of date mentioned.

    That made for a relaxing afternoon solving the well constructed puzzle. Thank you, Interrobang.

    Thanks, folks, for having a go. Due to repetition of answers for 3d and 8a, two clues remain, viz, 12a and 14d.

    Venkatesh, as it is said in Tinglish, I hope you do not let the 'pune' out of the bag.

    Talking of the Swastika symbol at the centre, apart from the 'right' and 'left' versions, did you know that in Bengal another version, which resembles a stick humanoid is used?
