Paavai Vilakku Paper Mache Golu Bommai - 24 x 7 Inches | Giri Golu Doll/ Navaratri Golu Bomma/Gombe/Bommai

• Golu is a doll and figurine festival held in South India during Navaratri and Dussehra. It is a set of steps decorated with bommais (dolls) of all shapes and sizes to tell a story about a Hindu or secular cultural issue.
• Every Kolu needs a refreshing twist with beautiful dolls. To enhance the beauty of everyone's needs and to glorify the woman of your home, add a kitchen set to your golu padi.
• A traditional Tamil celebration called Pavai Vilakku, often referred to as Margazhi Vilakku, is observed from December through January. Women are the ones who observe the festival to the greatest extent; they engage in unique rituals and make prayers to the gods, especially for the welfare and prosperity of their families.
• It is connected to the histories of Andal, a famed female poet-saint in South India, and is devoted to the worship of the divine feminine spirit. The festival is thought to bestow blessings and grant wishes.
• Women get up early, take a bath, and dress themselves in traditional garb as part of rituals and traditions. Then, using clay or rice flour, they make a "Pavai Vilakku" or "Andal Kuthuvilakku," which is a representation of the sacred lamp. Vermilion, sandalwood paste, and flowers are used to embellish the lamp.
