Golu or Kolu or Bombe Habba (Kannada) or Bommai Kolu (Tamil) or Bommala Koluvu (Telugu) is a toy festival celebrated during the festival of Navratri in Southern India. This is an exhibition of various dolls and figurines in odd (usually 7, 9, or 11) numbered tiers (padis).

This Navratri try keeping a golu at home like my friends did ..

They are giving away a beautiful Bodhisattva painting. A reproduction of an Ajanta Cave painting, its been painted on treated wood with an admirable attention to detail!
