Detailed Description

One of the most well-known pilgrimage destinations in India, Vaishno Devi, is the target audience for an inventive lightweight palanquin that was created by Prof. B. K. Chakravarthy of IDC IIT Bombay, especially for the pilgrims. The design's main goal was to provide a lightweight, safe, and ergonomic substitute for conventional aeroplanes, which are frequently unwieldy and uncomfortable for both passengers and bearers. The pallet is far easier to carry than conventional wooden allets because it was made with lightweight, strong materials like aluminium or composites. The palanquin's ergonomic shape guarantees the comfort of both the bearers and the pilgrim being carried.
