There were singers singing praises to Gopala and images of Hanuman carried aloft on palanquins. |
The gods are brought out of their temples and paraded down the streets in elaborately carved palanquins rolled along by four men. |
On this visit, the Nainativu temple was mid-festival when I arrived: gods were being paraded on elaborate palanquins and showered with flowers, while musicians played. |
This is where palanquins from different villages are brought to pay homage to Parshuram. |
The richest pilgrims were carried up in wooden palanquins by tough, wiry hillmen. |
During the festival, the various temple gods are carried in procession in covered palanquins, accompanied by bands of singers and dancers. |
