Symbolism of Parthasarathy and Thayar

With Thayar by His side, the Golu doll signifies the perfect balance of strength and compassion, protector and nurturer. This Golu bommai invites devotees to see the Lord as both guide and refuge in the journey of life.
Significance within Golu Tradition
This set holds a revered space in Vaishnava-themed Dassara dolls displays. Srivaishnava families often feature Parthasarathy Perumal and Thayar prominently in their Kolu bommai, especially due to the connection with the Triplicane temple, one of the 108 Divya Desams. A Golu doll like this inspires children and elders alike to contemplate the virtues of dharma, humility, and divine companionship during Navaratri.

The Legend of Parthasarathy Perumal
At the heart of the Mahabharata stands the charioteer Lord Krishna—who did not raise a weapon, but led Arjuna through wisdom and guidance. As Parthasarathy, He is celebrated at the Triplicane temple in Chennai. This form of the Lord bears a moustache, battle wounds, and divine armor—reminding us that He takes on every role for the protection of dharma. Alongside Him is Thayar, ever compassionate and merciful, offering shelter to all devotees. This Golu doll set captures that sacred union—one of strength, love, and cosmic responsibility.
Bring home the blessings of the Divine Guide and the Eternal Mother. Let Parthasarathy Perumal and Thayar grace your Golu bommai steps and uplift your Navaratri with bhakti and divine presence.
