The Divine Legend of Meenakshi
According to legend, Meenakshi was born with three breasts to the Pandya king and queen after they prayed for a child. A divine voice foretold that her third breast would vanish upon meeting her destined consort. She grew into a mighty queen and warrior, conquering lands until she met Shiva in battle—at that moment, her third breast disappeared. Recognizing him as Lord Sundareswarar, she returned to Madurai, where their divine wedding was celebrated by gods and sages. This golu bommai depicts her after coronation, with the gopuram as a symbol of her temple—eternal, towering, and sacred.
History of Golu – The Temple in the Home
The tradition of golu doll displays originated during the Vijayanagara era and continued through Nayaka rule, when Meenakshi’s temple was expanded and her legend flourished. The dasara dolls arrangement became a way to retell sacred stories through clay and color. This kolu bommai, capturing both deity and architecture, evokes that same storytelling spirit—bringing the temple home, tier by tier, during Navaratri. Through this display, homes become sanctified with the divine essence of Madurai.
