The Kavadi runs the gamut in form and category from the simple and direct architecture of a weighing balance or the storeroom of a street vendor—a heavy wooden stick to relax on the shoulder, to which two cloth-wrapped containers are connected to the high - priced palanquin structure, which is extravagantly adorned with floral and peacock feathers.
