Navratri Golu Contest 2011

Submitted by Janakannan on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 19:02
My golu consists of 7 main padis, 3 padis to the left, 3 to the right and one each on both sides connecting the 3 padis to the main padi. The main padi consists of mainly Gods with highlight being Chakkarathazhwar, Dashavathara Perumal and Sleeping Ganesha. One side of the padi has Ramayana story, the other side has the Brides of India(dolls hand dressed by me). The 2 single padi has Aiyappan on one side and the Marapachi Perumal with Sridevi and Bhudevi (hand decorated using foam and rhinestones). Apart from the padis, I also have a story theme each year. This year my theme is the legend of Kanyakumari. For this I created an ocean using blue celaphone paper. I created a seashore using sand and depicted the story of Kanyakumari on the shore. For the story, I used plastic dolls and decorated/dressed them as the characters of the story. On the other side I have the Brindavana/Rasaleela with Krishna and the Gopikas sailing in a boat in a pond/lake.

Wow, beatiful Golu arrangement. First time, I'm seeing this Chakrathazvar and Dasavathara Perumal. This sleeping Ganesha on a cot looks so sweet and cute. I wish to carry that Ganesha from the cot and have it on my laps like a baby. The story theme, is really an unique one. Nicely decorated dolls for the story. All the best. Keep it up.

My my! Now what do I say here that hasn't been said by our members already. :) Your golu is a grand one. Great display of Marapachi set, decorated to perfection! Shivji's eyes from the backdrop wall hanging keeps stealing out attenion. Nice idea to showcase that as a backdrop. Some one in your home must have missed your indoor-game table. Clever use of the green color from the table as a base for the water theme. Thank you for participating in our Navratri contest. Wish you a happy and a prosperous Diwali. :)
