INTRO

Dolls in various forms and sizes take centre stage in many Hindu households for nine nights and 10 days my collection has expanded from clay dolls to “Bommais” from Kanchipuram , Cuddalore and Madras to a few Bengali dolls and some that I purchased off the streets in kanyakumari. I have a theme dedicated to Krishna which has glimpses of his life – Vasudeva carrying the baby Krishna secretly in storm under the protection of Adiseshan, the child Krishna dancing on the snake Kalingan, relishing butter with foster mother Yashoda , dancing with Gopikas. There is also Krishna as Parthasarthy , the charioteer of Arjuna in the Mahabharat war. We also kept village theme and kailash mountain The nine days are usually filled with visitors who come home , eat variety of food ,sang songs, comment on the collection and go home . We had given return gift to all the devoties who visited our golu .
