Significance within Golu Tradition
The Kolu bommai tradition not only honors deities but also celebrates ideals of dharma and seva (service).

Especially during Navaratri, when guests are welcomed with sweets and prasadam, her presence emphasizes the spirit of hospitality. This Golu bommai stands as a symbol of maternal love and the blessings that come from sharing what we have with others.
Navaratri & Golu Display Context
• Navaratri, the sacred nine nights, honors the divine feminine through rituals, music, and spiritual reflection.
• The Kolu bommai display is an integral part of this celebration in South India, arranged in 3, 5, 7, or 9 tiers of Golu doll themes.
• Annapoorani’s idol is especially relevant in households that observe Annadhanam during these days.
• Adding her to your Dassara dolls collection enhances both the spiritual energy and social message of your Golu, reminding all of the virtue of feeding others.
The Legend of Annapoorani – The Goddess of Eternal Giving
Once, Lord Shiva teased Parvati, saying the material world—especially food—was an illusion (Maya). In response, Parvati disappeared, and the world became barren and lifeless. All beings suffered from hunger, and even the gods grew weak. Realizing the essential truth of nourishment, Shiva pleaded for her return. Parvati reappeared as Annapoorani, holding a golden ladle and feeding the starving universe. She declared that food was not mere illusion, but sacred, and must be respected as divine energy. Since then, she has been worshipped as the giver of both food and spiritual abundance. This Golu doll captures her divine moment—when love took the form of nourishment, and Parvati became Annapoorani, the goddess who blesses every kitchen and dining table.
History of Golu – A Tradition of Storytelling and Devotion
• The practice of arranging Kolu bommai originated during the Vijayanagara era and spread across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh.
• Each Dassara dolls display tells stories from Puranas, celebrates feminine divinity, and honors ideals like learning, service, and dharma.
