Golu the Doll festival

Every year I used to visit most of the houses of our neighborhood to photograph the Golu displays to publish in our website. I did so this time too.. I am happy to post a few from the collection for your viewing pleasure.
Any body interested can click here for virtual Golu of nearly 25 houses...!
I always enjoy doing the coverage though it is a  little tiring exercise , covering as many number of houses as I did....! Hope you enjoy these..

    Sridharan sir thank you very much for dedicating your valuable time for taking pictures of Golu festival from 25 different houses of chennai in different location. Sridharan sir it is really a noble and worthy effort to share and preserve our glorious heritage of Golu festival which performed during every Dasara.

    Sridharan sir in the Andhra state the same Golu will be termed as Bommala Koluvu. I hope in the future i am taking some photographs of Bommala Koluvu and sharing them in my Heritage of India blog.

    Sridharan sir i am happy to inform that now people from many countries visited my Heritage of India blog regularly and so far people from 114 different watching my blog.

    Sridharan sir apart from sharing my collections on several themes relating to Indian Heritage and Culture i am also sharing my knowledge on Indian Heritage and Culture with school and college students by giving seminars to them. Sir so far i gave 2 seminars to students and these are my 2 seminars links.
