History of Golu
The tradition of Golu—also known as Bommai Golu, Bommala Koluvu, or Bombe Habba—dates back to the Vijayanagara Empire (14th–16th centuries). Royal households would curate elaborate doll displays to narrate mythological stories and celebrate cosmic order. Adopted by the Nayakas and Poligars, the custom became widespread across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, evolving into a deeply cherished family practice. Today, creating a display of dassara dolls is both a spiritual and artistic expression, especially treasured by women and children.

The Legend of Lord Murugan
One of the most revered legends of Lord Murugan is his fierce battle with the demon Surapadman, as told in the Skanda Purana. When evil forces began threatening the cosmic balance, Lord Shiva created Murugan from a spark of fire. Gifted the divine Vel by Goddess Parvati, Murugan led the celestial armies to vanquish Surapadman. In the climax of the battle, Surapadman transformed into a mango tree to escape. Murugan split the tree with his Vel, and from its halves emerged a peacock and a rooster, which Murugan adopted as his vehicle and banner. This act symbolized the transformation of negative energy into spiritual purpose and remains a defining myth of divine victory.
