Tell us about your Golu
Golu has been a very important tradition and is close to my heart since my childhood days. It is one of the most exciting season of the year that we look forward to it , every year.
After my wedding in 2011, I have been keeping Golu for the past 9 years in the UK.
And my son Prithvi absolutely loves it and enjoys narrating lots of stories behind the bommais. I initially started off with 3 steps and then added lots of bommais over a period of time.
This year, I have kept a 7 padi Golu. It includes a range of bommais starting from Lord Ganesha, Swami Ayyappan, Shri Krishna, Guruvayurappan,Hanuman, Paandurangar set, Dasavatharam set, Ashtalakshmi set, Marupaachi dolls, chettiar bommai, vegetables/ fruits, sangeetha mumoorthigal and many more.
