Navaratri & Golu Display Context
• Navaratri is a nine-night festival celebrating the divine feminine and culminates in Vijayadashami, the victory of good over evil.
• A core tradition is the Golu display, where dolls are arranged on odd-numbered tiers (usually 3, 5, 7, or 9), with gods and goddesses at the top, and saints, mythological heroes, and folk scenes below.
• Families use golu dolls like Govardhan Krishna to share stories, offer prasadam, and host guests, fostering community bonding.
• This golu bommai is not just decorative—it adds spiritual value to your Navaratri rituals and devotion.
History of Golu
The Golu tradition, also called Bommai Golu (Tamil), Bommala Koluvu (Telugu), or Bombe Habba (Kannada), began in the royal courts of the Vijayanagara Empire (14th–16th century). Originally a celebration of courtly and divine life, it was later embraced by the Nayaka and Poligar rulers and spread across South India. Today, Golu is a sacred art form practiced in homes, especially by women and children, as an expression of creativity, devotion, and cultural heritage.
The Legend of Govardhana Giri Krishna
In the village of Gokul, villagers stopped their annual offering to Lord Indra, choosing instead to honor Krishna. Enraged, Indra unleashed a fierce storm to punish them. To protect the people and cattle, Krishna lifted the Govardhana Hill with his little finger, providing shelter for seven days and nights.
This miracle revealed Krishna’s divine nature and humbled Indra, who realized Krishna was the Supreme Lord. This story of faith and divine shelter is a beloved tale in the ithihasas, celebrated through the Govardhan Giri golu doll.
