Thanks. Nanne begginer this is my 1st time golu. Just got 3 flat cardboards or wooden sheet. Under that sheets kept stuff like book n other boxes to get height. Something like below (mine wikl send pic once i remove dolls 10th day.) Then cover it with washed dhoti or saree
For the past few years I used card board and kept only 3 steps. But this year we got the steps made of wood from Home Depot. It's quite easy and cheaper than the golu stands sold. However, I do have a question for all ladies about the pooja. For the North Indian ladies who come for seeing golu, just looking and taking tamboolam is not sufficient per my experience. I began getting two small vilakku so that they can do it themselves. They wish to pariticipate in their way too. Can anyone give me some rituals that they can do apart from doing aarthi!?
You can get them to come together and sing bhajans or other slokas that they may know and if they are interested. For our neighbour's ayyapa pujas, we take along some prasad for all the participants. They can sponsor for a days offering if willing.
Hi Happy to hear that you are decided to celebrate. 2 options you can do Buy steel plates rods, nuts and bolts For example 5 steps : 5 steel plates 5 feet rod 4 4 feet rod,3 feet , 2 feet and 1 feet rod each Extra 3 feet rod 4 in four sides this match with plate size Nuts and bolts to connect on two sides. Keeping Goku is easy Start with photos, toys , kalasam what you have in home . If you have photo of God in paper,that you can stick with popstick, and fix in wax and keep it on steps With waste products you can create park . Just make sprouts and decorate with animal toys
Hi suma I bought a 3 step golu pasi from giri trading.... Its plastic fiber.... light weight and can be dismantled and can be stored in a bag after use..... Dolls i got few from my mom, bought few from giri trading..... The best time to buy these dolls are after navrathri is over, when we can get the dolls at a throw away price. I picked most of my dolls from giri trading and road side small shops....
I am in USA. I think girl traders is in in Chennai right.. Click on this link I have already kept golu n this is my golu Navaratri Golu In United States 1st Time
