Golu 2024 – Uma Jayashankar
We at Jayashankars house keep traditional Golu for about 20 plus years. We always include a theme with our Golu conveying messages from our ithigasa and puranas to our visitors. This year our Golu theme is குழந்தை(யும்) தெய்வ(மு)ம். As the phrase goes குழந்தை தெய்வம், we have highlighted how God born in the form of குழந்தை and always remembered as குழந்தை தெய்வம் help Devas and destroy evil forces. We have selected Vamana and Krishna avatara scenes for this.
குழந்தையும் தெய்வமும் - as the phrase goes how God appeared and help four divine children when they show bhakthi from their childhood. We have selected Dhurva, Prahalada, Thiru Gyana samabar and Markandeyar and depicted short episodes from their life.
In addition to this we have kept scenes from Ramayana from Sita Kalyanam till Sita Rama Pattabhishekam, Mysore city as model, village life and lot of handwork from my wife and son. Except dolls most of the things you see are handmade by us.
