Temple umbrellas get new colours





Many new umbrellas have been made for this year's Panguni Festival. Two among them have different colour combinations - peacock blue and bright yellow.

The temple Sri Padams (volunteers who carry the gods during procession) and R. Balaji, a traditional umbrella maker from cintadripet together decide the designs and colours for these umbrellas.

"We wanted to break the monotony of white, golden and green colours that are usually used for making temple umbrellas. Hence, we came up with these colours," says K. Saravanan, a temple Sri Padam.

"We are also working on many other colour combinations and designs," he says.
