History of Golu Tradition
The kolu bommai tradition traces back to the royal courts of the Vijayanagara Empire (14th–16th century), where dolls were displayed to depict religious stories and courtly life. Over time, this evolved into the domestic custom of Navaratri Golu celebrated widely in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala. Golu displays are now treasured as expressions of devotion, artistry, and cultural storytelling passed down through generations—especially among women and children.

History & Musical Legacy of the Trinity
• Saint Thyagaraja (1767–1847) composed thousands of devotional songs, mostly in praise of Lord Rama. His Pancharatna Kritis are considered musical gems.
• Muthuswami Dikshitar (1775–1835), born into a family of musicians and scholars, created intricate compositions blending music with rich Sanskrit and devotion, praising deities across India.
• Syama Sastri (1762–1827), the earliest among the three, composed in praise of Goddess Kamakshi and is known for his emotive ragas and rhythmic mastery.
Together, they laid the foundation of what is now considered the golden era of Carnatic music, preserving Bhakti and classical tradition in lyrical form.
