History of Golu
The tradition of setting up golu bommai dates back to the Vijayanagara Empire, where royal courts curated elaborate doll arrangements to honor the gods. This practice was passed down to households across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka by the Nayakas and Poligars. Today, the golu doll display remains a treasured family ritual, connecting generations through art, devotion, and storytelling.
The Legend of Saptha Mathakkal
According to the Devi Mahatmya, the Saptha Mathakkal emerged from the fierce energy of Goddess Durga to assist her in the battle against the demon Raktabija. Each goddess was born from a different male deity and brought her own power to the battlefield. As Raktabija multiplied each time a drop of his blood touched the earth, it was Chamundi (one of the Saptha Mathakkal) who ultimately vanquished him by drinking his blood before it could fall. Together, these goddesses represent the cooperative force of divine energy that sustains dharma (cosmic order). Their story is one of strength, sisterhood, and spiritual resilience.
