    Hi Friends - Happy Navarathri to all ! May the Supreme Mother bless us all with the Wisdom, Wealth and Valor.
    Since this festival is a celebration of Womanhood and their creativity , I wanted to share some clicks of Golu at my native place this year kept by my Chiththi and cousin. Except for the dolls, all the artworks are their handwork :) Hope you all enjoy it and your comments, if any, will be conveyed to them ! Thank you !

    This is kept at reception area. The Lakshmi image drawn by my cousin on black board. The two Mukham of Varalakshmi Amman dressed and decorated. Small pots decorated by clay works has been in the family for more than 15 years now. Repainted from time to time to preserve their beauty ! The sliding doors of the table on which these items are placed is also designed and hand painted by my cousin.

    In the haystack set is the birth scene of Jesus Christ and beside that is Krishna Leela set.

    They have utilized the space under the Golu Steps to keep Park.The park area has lots of dolls that I too helped collect over the years. It has those wooden and Maakkal choppu saaman that are more than 3 decades old, which were a gift to me when I was a child by my beloved Grandma !

    Flavored milk empty bottles fully covered by color yarns and decorated with stones are seen along the fencing area of the Park

    Freehand Rangolis of my Chiththi that will be changed every 3 days during Navarathri, have always been the star attraction of our home Golu. This Rangoli is free hand and also with some stencil usage. She usually has help from my cousin and I too used to take a small part before marriage.

    This is a Rangoli depiction of a welcome carpet ! Initial work..

    Golu has always been an interesting part in our lives with all the girls dressed in beautiful pavadais, thaavanis and later sarees and some jewels too- going to each other's house and receiving and inviting for Tambulam and singing bhajans and kritis,enjoying each other's creativity not to mention the hot and spicy sundals :yum:.. the list could go on... I am not keeping Golu at the country where I am now residing. But my heart will always leap with great joy at the thought of it. Seeing some lovely shares of Golu clicks by some of our friends here, sought permission from my Chiththi and cousin to share their Golu with you all. Thank you all for viewing ! Would love to have some feedbacks too :)
