INTRO

Bomma Golu ( Display of dolls), is an important aspect of Navratri Celebrations.

Past 20 yrs I am keeping Golu at home and every time I try to make small small crafts and make them look colorful and creative.

This year 2022 golu is very very unique and special, as the Golu features all quilling dolls, 252, in number and made by me, over a period of two years.

The dolls show different daily chores of a normal human being. That way I have created a mixed theme.
