About this Video:
Golu is an artisitic display of dolls during the Navrathri feastival. This is done mostly by Tamil brahmins. The dolls( mostly wooden but can also be made of plastic , metals these days) are placed on odd numbered steps made of wood/metal. The dolls generally depict Hindu Gods in line with tradition but one can see very inootvative theme based add-on displays these days

What is Navaratri?

"Nava-ratri" literally means "nine nights.".
Navarathri is celebrated in different ways in different parts of India.
Navaratri (also spelled Navratri or Navaratra) is a festival of dance and worship. The word Navaratri is made of two words: Nava (nine) and Ratri (nights).

There are some mythological significances of Golu:
a. The dolls depict Gods and Goddesses praying for Parvati Devi when she was doing penance for betraying Lord Shiva by attending the Daksha Yagna
b. The dolls represent the assembly of Durga Devi who killed the demon Mahishasura on Vijayadashami day

During Navratri, Goddess Durga is worshipped in nine different forms.

Navaratri is divided into three-day sets, each devoted to a different aspect of the supreme goddess. The first three days are devoted to Durga (to destroy all our vices, impurities, and defects). The next three day set is devoted to Lakshmi (the giver of spiritual and material wealth), and the last set is devoted to Saraswati (the goddess of wisdom).
