Silver Palanquin: Sri Mookambika temple, Kollur (3)

The palanquin made of silver is used for taking the idol of Goddes Mookambika along the outer circle or “prakara” (second circle around the sanctum sanctorum) of the temple.

 

This is carried by four people on their shoulder by two wooden poles. At spots where customs are lengthy, the palanquin is placed on four wooden stands, which are seen on the image places across.

 

Silver palanquin is used only during festivities.
