INTRO

Namasthe
I am veena sreenivas from muscat oman.
I am originally from Mysore, which is popular for Dasara . we wanted to continue our beautiful culture and tradition here too. Hence we have been keeping theme based golu since many years.
Every year along with traditional golu steps we create a big spread with a theme based compilation.
Our main Traditional golu setup has 5 quite large steps which has Pattada bombe on top step along with dashavatara . In next step we have Srinivasa with bhoodevi sridevi idols in silver peeta set. The speciality of these idols is that the age of these idols are not known. It is passing from one generation to othere since decades/ century. There is brass idol set of Panduranga & Rakumayi which also are with us from unknown time . There are iskon group, rasleela , balakrishna ,wedding set up etc in all steps. There is a mama mami sansaar where you can see modern as well as traditional couple enjoying their old age life.
Now comes theme based compilation.
We are residing in Oman since last 14 years. This beautiful country has given us a lot of love and life . As a tribute and thanks giving to this beautiful country we have tried to include oman in this years theme. Though our love to our mother land india is unmatched , Oman also has become a second mother land.
So we have compiled "Janmabhoomi & Karmabhoomi " theme. And named "Janmabhoomi Atulya Bharath & Karmabhoomi Amulya Oman"
First half of our spread has popular monuments and architectures of our Karmabhoomi , Amulya Oman like beautiful Al Alam palace, majestic Royal opera house, yet to be inagurated tallest oman flag post, snow oman , Sultan Quaboos stadium Muscat Eye etc.. Everything is painstakingly done by us. Nothing is readily bought. Janmabhoomi Atulya bharath and every building looks almost similar to original with perfect lighting, flower bed and oriental special light posts..On right side of the spread has our Janmabhoomi , Atulya Bharat in which most of the famous places and monuments are displayed. There is a big udyaan Which has Aastha Bharath on left side, Vaastu Bharath on right side. In between Jewels of india set up is there which has figures of many famous Indian persons. Aastha bharath has religiously popular displays like Badarinath, kedarnath, vaishnodevi, shravanabelagola, sri jagannathtemple etc. Vaasthu bharath has architecturally popular monuments of Bharath like Taj mahal, charminar, Gate way of india, India gate, Lotus temple, lal quila , humayuns tomb etc....
Along with these there is mysore palace with big
Procession. We have also created Grameena bharath which depicts rural india.
There is an elevated Muscat mail train which moves all around Janmabhoomi & Karmabhoomi silently. There is Bharathoman express train too which moves all thru the compilation. There is a working cable car which starts from india and goes to oman and comes back to india.. Air india in the sky is descending in the air and Oman air is asconding. You can see a hot balloon too, which is recently introduced in Oman.

Most important to be noticed is all the buildings in the compilation are lit with search lights, street lights, oriental lights according to need and are centrally connected to a control system where the lighting can be individully regulated. These are done by my husband sreenivas who is an engineer.
Also two moving trains and working cable car (made of empty sharpener boxes) are not to be missed.
Most of the miniatures are done personally since few months . Walls of oman buildings are made using 3d filaments then assembled. We have not used thermocol as they are opaque and does not alliw light.
This way we have expressed our love and gratitude towards our Karmabhoomi Oman
And our immense love to janmabhoomi.
