WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY NAVARATRI.
MAY MOTHER DURGA BLESS YOU ALL.
Navratri is a festival dedicated to the worship of the Hindu Goddess Mother Durga. The word Navaratri literally means nine nights in Sanskrit, nava meaning nine and ratri meaning nights. During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakti/Devi are worshiped. The tenth day is commonly referred to as Vijayadashami or "Dussehra."
Navratri is a very important and major festival in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhara Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Golu or Kolu or Bombe Habba or Bommai Kolu or Bommala Koluvu is a toy festival celebrated during the festival of Navratri in Southern India. It is customary in the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, as well as in some Tamil communities within Sri Lanka to display Golu.
