Here, you will see the various types of Hats or Head-gears that the folks will dedicate to the Deities (statues).
Such Head-gears are made according to the various ranking & position of the Deities.
In-order to get a suitable Head-gear for the Deity, one self must understand the level of the Deity, the Element of the Deity and the Bestowed Title of the Deity.
In Singapore, rarely we can see folks dedicate such Head-gears to their Home-Deities.
Care to do some intro on the headgears showed here?
