Navratri Golu Contest - October 2011

Dear Usha and Devapriya,

thanks a lot for the lovely feedback.

br,
Deepa.

 

Welcome to my 360degree "Gajalakshmi Golu". We moved from the US 4 months ago. So finding all the dolls from over a 100 unpacked cardboxes was next to impossible!!! It was a good excuse to buy new ones! Finding my way around to buy all the supplies and to get the carpenter to help me out was a huge challenge, but it worked out at the end. Enjoy the golu and your feedback is always welcome

 

Amazing arts !!!!

'Spatha Shreyas' is the theme what we have chosen. Apart from the usual 9 Padikattu Golu, we have set up 18 different artefacts that highlights the importance of number 7.
Since this being our first thematic Golu, we wanted to start it with humble prayer to Lord Ganesha. As a mark of respect we have kept 108 Ganesha Idols in an unique place - The Eeshanya Mula, of our house and also named this corner as 'Ashtotra Shatha Ganapathihi'. Lord Ganesha is Ketu's master and Ketu takes the number 7!! Incidentally, 7 is the birth number of our head of the family, thus we narrowed on the theme 'Saptha Shreyas' .
Adding to the 108 Ganesha's we have shown:

• 7 phases of the Moon
• 7 colours of the rainbow
• 7 days of the week along with their respective planets
• 7 major metals
• 7 Indian Currency which are in circulation now (Rs. 5,10,20,50,100,500 and 1000)
• Saptha Chakras
• Sapthaswaram
• Sapthagiri
  
• Sapthapathi
• Sapthakanya
• 7 Sands of United Arab Emirates
• 7 stages of a man (according to the poet, William Shakespeare, in his poem 'Seven Ages of Man')
• Sapthapuri
• Saptharishi
• Saptha-Chatustaya
• Saptha Dweepa
• Saptha Thandava
• Saptha Lokas (heaven and hell)
• Sapthabadri
  One must note that, all these are inalienable even if we take 7 janmas!
  Our whole family has worked with a lot of dedication and we have learnt a lot by exploring the importance of number 7.We would love to share our 1st thematic golu with you.
  The best thing about our Golu is that, we have created wealth from waste and used things that are eco-friendly.
