Sometimes one or two images of other gods are taken out in addition to the main deity of the temple. They are carried on the shoulders of eager devotees who have invariably donned traditional dress, and who take turns carrying the images. A splendid processional umbrella underlines the high status of the represented deity. (Hamm 2004)
