History of Golu
Originating during the Vijayanagara Empire, Golu—also known as Bommai Golu, Bommala Koluvu, or Bombe Habba—evolved from royal courts into a cherished domestic custom. Over centuries, this tradition expanded across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. Today, each kolu bommai tells a story—be it divine, heroic, or familial—making every Golu setup a tapestry of devotion and culture. Dolls like the Thatha Patti golu doll preserve and honor the role of elders in this evolving heritage.
