The Legend of Gaja Lakshmi – The Emergence from the Ocean of Milk
According to the Puranas, during the great event of Samudra Manthan—the churning of the cosmic ocean by Devas and Asuras—Goddess Lakshmi emerged resplendent from the waves, seated on a lotus and bathed by white elephants. This form became known as Gaja Lakshmi, the elephant-anointed form.
The elephants, known as Airavata and Panchajanya, poured sacred waters over her, celebrating her return to the universe after self-withdrawal. She blessed the devas with fortune and balance, bringing back abundance, peace, and power to the three worlds.
This moment is eternally remembered in this Golu doll, capturing the serenity and magnificence of the divine mother as she restores cosmic wealth. Including this Golu bommai in your Navaratri steps is like invoking that very moment—where divine blessings flowed unceasingly.
