Priest carrying the Bhagwathy idol, called the thadamb.
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: A member of the temple priest’s family wears priestly robes and carries the Bhagwathy idol, called the thadamb, upon his head.
This photo is taken in Shri Bhaghavathi Temple, Kavadi, Kodagu, Karnataka. A designated native called the thiralekara, wears the traditional white kuppya chele costume and dances the thirale (whirl) before the idol. He also behaves as an oracle, answering to the queries of devotees. Late in the afternoon, the idol is taken across the fields by devotees to the stream to be washed. Then the idol is brought back and taken around the temple. While taking the idol around the temple, the carrier also dances on his feet. The goddess is accompanied by another god, Ayyappa.
