This is my 27th year of golu . Golu means display of dolls .
Navaratri which is celebrated in South Indian culture.
Dolls are arranged in steps to indicate the hierarchy of supremacy.
God, then avatars, gurus and finally human beings. This is to remind ourselves to stay grounded by thoughts.
This year golu theme.
Sabari malai , Saranam Iyyappa and Nari Shakthi to showcase woman power.
Themes are included in golu for children to learn our culture and religion better through stories.
Have kept various themes in the past.
Ganesh visarjan
Ramayana
Mahabhrata
Tirupathi brahmostavam
Marriage
Meenakshi kalyanam. Etc.
Everyday I do shloka chanting and in the evening friends and family are invited for Darshan and Prasad.
I have been Inspired by my mother who has imbibed in me this tradition. My family supports me a lot and encourage me to keep golu bigger and better every year.
