thank you - i got them in thiruchanur-tirupati- i was lucky- actually these were some body's orders and they hadnt come to collect - i got 3-4 sets and shared with my aunts too - he also had dashavataram- i was too tempted but couldnt buy - have to do it sometime- with all your comments i feel more encouraged to buy - these are quite expensive but worth it

Very beautifully decorated doll sets. I'm wondering if all the sets seen at the forefront, in this picture are marapaachi dolls (4 pairs). How about the dolls in the sitting position? Are they marapaachi dolls too? Please let us know. -Lata

Thanks for sharing those wonderful dolls info. Was it decorated like that? Did you decorate it at home? Do you have the shop details where you bought those marapachi dolls? Mrs. Jay
