This is an additional theme to our Golu. Instead of keeping all lakshmi in one row I made an arrangement like Astalakshmi temple in Besant Nagar, Chennai. I’ve planned to make a set up like sea shore near by, but due to lack of time & space I arranged with the relevant accessories for each goddess. Details from top to bottom
1. Iswarya Lkshmi – The goddess who bless us with prosperity, hence I kept house, land, bank balance nearby
2. Dhana Lakshmi – The goddess who bless us in financial aspects, so I kept money around her.
3. Vijaya Lakshmi – The goddess who bless us for Victory. So I kept some of the Award like stuff nearby
4. Dhanya Laksmi – The goddess who bless us with food & grains. So I kept different grains around her
5. Santhana Lakshmi – The goddess who bless us with good children, so I kept small children around her
6. Vidhya Lakshmi – The goddess who bless us with education & Art. So I kept books, pen & pencil near by
7. Geja Lkahmi – The goddess with Elephant, so I kept elephants near by
8. Veera Lakhmi – The goddess who bless us for courage, so I kept sword near by.
Hope u all enjoy my golu. Let all the goddess bless our all ikolam members in all aspects… Expecting your valuable feed back…..
We had a great Navarathri celebration this year. Hightlight of this year's pooja was the Lalitha Sahasranama Pooja done by Shringeri mutt.
We do a different theme in our golu every year. We had built a small Indian village this year. Kids had a wonderful time making all the huts and houses. We had hatched roof and brick houses built.sowed seeds around for fields in the village. We made a small well, bullock cart, temple etc.I was so happy that I was practically able to show and tell the kids on how simple life in a village would be.
I am happy that Navarathri is well done by all Indians here and it is exposing our kids to the rich Indian culture.
