History of Golu
The tradition of arranging golu dolls originated during the Vijayanagara Empire and was later nurtured by Nayaka and Maratha kings. Over time, it became a vibrant household ritual known as Bommai Golu, Bommala Koluvu, or Bombe Habba, depending on the region. Each kolu bommai in the display is chosen for its mythological, cultural, or spiritual significance, making the dassara dolls arrangement a powerful form of storytelling and worship.

The Legend of Kalinga Narthanam
The story of Kalinga Narthanam is a beloved tale from Lord Krishna’s childhood in Vrindavan. The Yamuna River had become polluted and dangerous due to the presence of the venomous serpent Kalinga, who lived within its depths. The water was toxic, and even birds flying above would fall lifeless. Krishna, seeing the suffering of his people and animals, leapt into the river fearlessly. As Kalinga rose to attack, Krishna danced upon his many hoods with divine ease and grace, subduing the serpent. Amazed by Krishna’s celestial aura and power, Kalinga surrendered. Krishna, in his infinite compassion, spared the serpent and commanded him to leave the river and never return. This heroic dance purified the Yamuna and restored life to the land. The tale emphasizes Krishna’s role as the protector, purifier, and fearless upholder of righteousness. Including the Kalinga Narthanam golu doll in your Navaratri display is a celebration of this legendary moment of divine victory.
