Fun with dolls
Come October, Dussehra or Navratri is celebrated with great fervour. One of the aspects of this festival is the neat arragement of dolls in 3, 5, 7, or 9 (odd numbered) steps or shelves - called "Golu" or "Kolu". These dolls are mostly idols of Gods. The clay dolls are removed once a year from the attic, cleaned, and then arranged in the shelves. They are a pleasure to look at. Special "pujas" are performed every evening, for nine days, during the festival in front of the golu.
