Symbolism & Significance

Andal, also known as Goda Devi, is the only female Alvar saint, whose passionate devotion and poetic compositions (Thiruppavai and Nachiyar Thirumozhi) express divine love in its purest form. Her dream of marrying Lord Vishnu was fulfilled when she merged with him in Srirangam.
This Golu bommai set beautifully portrays that spiritual culmination—Andal in bridal radiance and Rangamannar as the supreme groom. Displaying this Golu doll invites divine blessings, devotion, and fulfillment into your Navaratri steps.

The Divine Legend – Andal’s Dream and Union
Andal was born in Srivilliputhur, nurtured by the saint Vishnuchittar (Periyalvar). From childhood, she was immersed in devotion to Lord Vishnu. She wore garlands meant for the deity, imagining herself as his bride. One day, Vishnu appeared in a vision to her father, asking that Andal be offered in marriage to him at Srirangam. The grand wedding was arranged, and Andal merged with Rangamannar at the sanctum of the Srirangam temple—fulfilling her divine destiny. Her love, expressed through the Thiruppavai, continues to be sung every Margazhi. This Golu doll captures that divine moment when the devotee becomes one with the divine.
