Hai Friends…
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.

Sangeetha Subramanyam
This is a village setting with a farm and a
railway station. The train goes through the tunnel and
next to it is a water fountain with a garden.

Hi.
Kalasham decorated like Amman for navarthri kolu at our place in Bangalore.
My golu theme this year is Ramayana. I have created 12 scenes depicting the Ramayana. Here is the picture of the scene where Guha helps Rama, Seetha and Lakshmana cross the river.
Golu at my home this year. For the contest. Have uploaded two photos. Look forward to your comments.
