History of Golu
Thei golu bommai tradition finds its origins in the Vijayanagara Empire, where dolls were arranged in palatial settings to depict mythological stories and royal grandeur. Over time, this royal ritual was embraced by families across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Today, the golu doll tradition continues as a vibrant folk art and devotional custom, involving every generation in its planning and execution.
The Legend of Goddess Kamakshi
According to legend, Goddess Kamakshi is a powerful form of Parvati who undertook intense penance in Kanchipuram to reunite with Lord Shiva. To express her devotion, she created a Shiva Lingam out of sand and worshipped it with utmost sincerity under a mango tree near the present Kamakshi Temple. Pleased by her devotion, Shiva appeared and accepted her as his consort. Another legend states that the world was once filled with chaos due to the absence of feminine energy. Kamakshi descended to restore balance, seated in penance at Kanchipuram, bringing love and harmony back to the universe. Her divine gaze is believed to grant boons and spiritual liberation to those who seek her with a pure heart.
