The Golu Festival In the heart of South India, as the monsoon retreats and the air begins to hum with festivity, homes transform into miniature museums of myth and memory. The Golu festival—celebrated during Navaratri—is not merely a display of dolls; it is a living archive of culture, devotion, and storytelling. Golu (or Kolu) involves the artistic arrangement of figurines on stepped platforms, traditionally in odd numbers—three, five, seven, or nine. These steps become stages for divine dramas, historical retellings, and whimsical scenes from everyday life. https://www.artsoullifemagazine.com/the-golu-festival
