Individual during the month becoming adherent of an Indian religion 4 letters ?a??

I know everyone will have finished theirs already, but I'm stuck. Every week I get stuck - usually a little bit in the corner and as I don't get the telegraph on a Monday, I never find the answers so never get any better at the damn thing. Thanks

I think the answer is Maya, May a.

or Jain

ja (i) n

indian festivel?

thanks and good luck

My first thought was MAYA, but JAIN fits the clue much better. Big Dave will be along soon to confirm it.

I agree that JAIN fits the clue much better.

As a (mildly) coincidental aside and nothing to do with the clue, I saw this 'definition' (?) in Wikipedia...

"Maya (Jainism), translated as "greed"; one of the 18 traditional undesirables in Jainism."

Spooky. It must be, then.

Hi - I'm here!

Yes it is JAIN.

For me, three clues spoiled this puzzle - this one, 20 down and 15 across.

As usual, there is help on the blog!

I'm working on a new web design, which is why I haven't been around much recently. Well, that and the fact that I have seen enough quizzes on here in the last few weeks to last me a lifetime!
