I thought and still think that Pelorian peasant women worship Pelora, as an analogue to Ernalda. Dendara is ok as a goody-goody Earth type, but Pelora seems more logical.

Pantheons being what they are I am sure Dendara would get a look in, but I bet Pelora is more important.

I saw Dendara as a noble woman's cult. The Solar hierarchy viewing Dendara as a noble ladies' goddess and Pelora as the down to Earth, heart of gold, but probably a bit dim, peasant.

Peasants might suspect that Dendara was a bit of a dipstick, trying to plant seed in GodTime etc..
