History of Golu
The Golu tradition, also called Bommai Golu (Tamil), Bommala Koluvu (Telugu), and Bombe Habba (Kannada), began during the Vijayanagara Empire. Families have since displayed kolu bommai to tell stories of gods, saints, and everyday life. Among them, divine mother figures like Durga hold the highest place, making her golu doll one of the most important for Navaratri.
The Legend of Goddess Durga
According to legend, Mahishasura, a powerful demon with the ability to change form, grew arrogant with the boon that no man or god could defeat him. Empowered by this boon, he terrorized the three worlds. To restore balance, the gods combined their divine energies to create Goddess Durga—an embodiment of Shakti, radiant and invincible. Armed with celestial weapons given by the gods, Durga fought Mahishasura for nine days and nights. On the tenth day, known as Vijayadashami, she slew the demon, restoring peace and dharma. This victory of Goddess Durga over Mahishasura symbolizes the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and righteousness over arrogance. The golu doll of Durga in your Navaratri steps honors this eternal legend and brings her divine protection into your home.
