    Hi Prabha,

    My parents went to mylapore last friday and they said that they could find only sets like ashtalakshmi, dasavatharam etc., and there was not any single piece types of bommai!!! I was really surprised or we went late?? Should we go before the kolu starts to find out bommais to get single pieces??

    Thanks so much for all the replies.

    Dear all,
    Are we allowed to keep Narasimha avatar without lakshmi in Dasavatar set in Golu ? It's told that we should always keep narasimha/hayagrivar with lakshmi and worship. Please clarify.

    Thanks,
    Sai

    yes why not? every time you have to go down to do the neivedhyam pooja and if you are ready for that sure you can keep the kolu there.
