Just a small description about umbrella:
Umbrella means (shade) "a screen used in hot to keep off the sun, and in others to bear off the rain; "a kind of broad fan or screen, commonly used by women to shelter them from rain; also a wooden frame, covered with cloth, to keep off the sun from a window."
Its mainly used in all god utsavams to take ustasavars. So the umbrella has many possible uses.
