The Legend of Meenakshi – The Green Goddess of Madurai
According to legend, Meenakshi was born from the sacrificial fire to the Pandya king Malayadhwaja and his queen, after years of childlessness. Born with three breasts and divine strength, she was told her third breast would vanish when she met her destined consort. Meenakshi grew up as a fierce warrior and righteous ruler, conquering lands and even reaching Mount Kailasa in her campaigns. There, she met Lord Shiva—her destined match—and her third breast disappeared. She returned to Madurai and married him in a celestial union known as the Meenakshi Kalyanam, witnessed by the gods. This clay Golu doll beautifully encapsulates the moment of her divine presence and feminine authority, reminding us of dharma, courage, and cosmic destiny.
