    Lots of beautiful clues: 1A, 3D, 4D, 11D, 20A,27A.
    Keep going!

    Late and I missed all the fun, though I did fill in on my own. I have a doubt about 27A and that does not seem to have been done. Waiting for it.
    As Raju says "There is always a next time".
    Thank you Raju for the enjoyable CW.

      The enu in the AcrossLite version is wrong. It should be (6-4). The clues for 19D & 21D in the Across Lite version also have been wrongly entered

    Thank YOU, Col. I knew that BONE_SETTER would be the last one to fall. When you had alluded to Dr. Nabar as a multi- talented person, some time ago, I had this clue pigeon-holed in my mind. I don't know under what category this would fall as a clue, referring to one amongst us. You gave me an opportunity to use it as your comment was made very recently and all our fellow-bloggers would recall it promptly. The hint was 'medic'.

    Thank-ye all for your support and encouragement . God bless ye-all.

    Thanks Ramki & Dr. Nabar.

    21 Holy man's headgear seem at tribe's assembly (7)
    Here, 'seem' appears to be a typo for 'seen'. Please check with the original.

    Great entertainment Raju,
    Late entry but started solving the Acrosslite version, unmindful of the glitches there and got stuck for ever!
    Sensed trouble looking at the repeats in 17DN and 19DN and came to the comments area. Only then, I noticed the bone of contention in 27AC. Good clue!

  25. raju umamaheswar3 September 2017 at 22:20

    Thank you , KRK-ji. I am glad that you enjoyed the puzzle set by me, despite the technical typos in the Acrosslite. 27 across clue was an inspired clue for me ! God bless.
