On that day, books are offered to the goddess to get blessings. Shlokas are chanted by kids and other elder family members, Sraswathi Pooja, the goddess of knowledge and learning. Women exchange betel leaves, betel nuts, fruits, flowers, bangles, turmeric, and kumkum among themselves. All these nine days prasad and prayer offered to the god. The nine days of Navaratri start the next day and end on the tenth, on Vijayadasami the day of victory. On the auspicious day of Amavasya, the preparations start by setting up the steps, arranging the dolls, decorating the homes with flowers and Rangolis. This is celebrated as Dassehra and to pay homage to the Gods and Goddesses who became ‘dolls’ by giving their powers away, the doll festival started. With all the collective power on the 10th day of battle, Goddess Durgha finally triumphed over the evil Mahisha sura. Without their powers, they became statues or ‘dolls’. As the story goes ,when Goddess Durga set out to fight Mahisha sura, all the Gods and Goddesses helped her by lending their powers to her. These displays are typically based on some theme, representing ancient stories, depicting scenes from Ramayan, Bhagavad Gita and other Hindu mythological texts. Bommala Koluvu in Telugu means Court of Toys and Bombe Habba means doll festival in Kannada. Bommai Kolu in Tamil means Devine presence. Golu is the artistic display of dolls and figurines on multiple steps,usually 3, 5, 7, 9, or 11 tiers.Many homes in the southern states of India-Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, display these colorfully decorated dolls during the nine days of Navaratri.
