Navaratri & Golu Display Context
• Navaratri is the nine-night festival celebrating Goddess Durga in her various forms—including Lakshmi, the bestower of wealth and prosperity.
• The festival culminates in Vijayadashami, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
• A vital tradition is the Golu or kolu bommai display—dolls arranged on odd-numbered steps (3, 5, 7, or 9) to depict divine legends, cultural stories, and everyday scenes.
• Families invite guests to view their golu doll displays, share prasadam, chant slokas, and reinforce spiritual and social harmony.
The Ashtalakshmi golu bommai set becomes a centerpiece in this display—honoring the divine mother’s multifaceted grace and showering your home with auspicious energy.
History of Golu
The Golu tradition, known as Bommai Golu in Tamil, Bommala Koluvu in Telugu, and Bombe Habba in Kannada, has its roots in the Vijayanagara Empire (14th–16th century). Originally practiced in royal courts, these doll displays depicted stories from mythology, temple legends, and regal life. Over time, the practice spread to households across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, transforming into a devotional art form prepared with care, creativity, and community spirit—especially by women and children. Today, collecting and arranging golu doll sets like Ashtalakshmi is a beloved ritual that fosters cultural preservation and spiritual devotion.
The Divine Legend of Ashtalakshmi
The story of Ashtalakshmi is rooted in the belief that Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu, manifests in eight different forms to bless humanity with holistic abundance. These forms were revealed during the Samudra Manthan (Churning of the Ocean), when Lakshmi emerged from the ocean as a radiant force of cosmic nourishment. Each avatar of Lakshmi serves a specific purpose in maintaining universal balance. From the richness of material wealth (Dhana Lakshmi) to the wisdom that leads to moksha (Vidya Lakshmi), these eight goddesses represent the essential pillars of human wellbeing. Worshipping Ashtalakshmi—especially during Navaratri—is said to align the devotee with divine vibrations that enhance all aspects of life, from success and security to knowledge and family life.
