கற்பனையின் அற்புதம் கைவண்ணத்தில் கண்டோம் களித்தோம்! - A one-of-a kind doll festival

கற்பனையின் அற்புதம் கைவண்ணத்தில் கண்டோம் களித்தோம்.

India is a fascinating country with multitudes of languages, customs, traditions and festivals all rolled into one spectacularly woven fabric, rich in colours, rich in its place, and rich in Grace and poise.

We just saw the conclusion of one such festival: Dussera, Navarathiri, Golu, Durga pooja, Garbha ... and so on.

Amazingly, this rich tradition has been transported to the Indian community in the US as well. Here, since people have to travel considerable distances to visit the Golu, it is usual to invite th entire fa,ily and also make some food available. Further, since access to Indian dolls are not that easy, the Golu imbibes some international dolls, and also spawns a lot of imagination, and people choose to go with a thematic Golu.

Here is a sampling of Golu asseen in some US homes.
