Significance of Kolu Dolls in Tamil Nadu
Navratri is celebrated all over India and
devotees worship Divine Mother. It is celebrated
in different parts of India like Andhra Pradesh,
Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka by creating dolls as
gods, goddesses, animals, children, and men,
etc. Golu or Kolu dolls for the Navratri
festival is a dolls festival that is celebrated
in Tamil Nadu with great enthusiasm. The festival
is known as Bommai Golu in Tamil Nadu. Here let
us know more about the significance of Kolu dolls
for the Navratri festival. Navaratri Kolu has
its significance during Navaratri where dolls of
different size shapes and colors are made.

Many dolls are passed on from generation to
generation as a family legacy. These Kolu dolls
for Navaratri are eco-friendly clay dolls that
are displayed during Navratri. They are then
packed and stored for the next Navratri festival.
This cycle goes on and it symbolizes the life
death cycle. Women also invite their neighbor to
see their Golu placement. Gifts and sweets are
exchanged. Women make beautiful rangoli and lit
oil lamps in the middle of Golu placement.

Bommai Golu Kolu Dolls are showcased during
Bommai Golu and they include celestial beings,
characters from mythology and Hindu religion. For
example saints, poets, freedom fighters,
etc. Addition of one Kolu doll a year According
to the rituals, one new doll is to be added to
the Kolu doll collection a year. Ideally, these
Navarathri golu rules in Tamil Culture are not
followed properly to add one new doll which can
be big or small to the collection each year.

You can keep the dolls in 9 steps as there is the
significance of 9 in Navratri. The steps number
should be 3, 5, 7, etc and should not go beyond 9
steps. A cloth is used to cover the steps where
the dolls are to be placed. Ideally, a white
cloth is used to cover the steps. Certainly, the
craft and method and the art differ with each
local market. The significance of Kolu dolls
would continue for years and generations to come.
