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.
