Temple car: Sri Mookambika temple, Kollur (2)

This is the “ratha” or temple car used for taking the idol of Goddes Mookambika along the outer circle or “prakara” (second circle around the sanctum sanctorum) of the temple.

 

This car is used only during festivities. On ordinary days the idol is taken on the head by the assistant priests three times a day (morning, noon and night) in a customary way.

 

This car is seldom decorated.
