Here are few pics of the golu at my home. I keep Golu inside my pooja room. I have make shift golu padis made to suit the room.
Decoration above the golu
Chettiyar with arisi and paruppu (Rice & Dal)
We don't have practise of Varalakshmi nombu. And my MIL wanted to deck up Devi and keep for the Golu. This is our first attempt. In the process, we got the hang of it. So next year may be we can better ourselves. We planned to keep it as part of the Golu. But it did not match the height of the Golu padis. So decided to keep Devi just outside the Pooja room. To match that, moved Chettiyar and his wares to the other end.
Every day morning, I make a payasam to be offered after the pooja and sundals are reserved for the evening bhakshanam. Today is neipayasam.
My sister at Gurgaon has sent her golu pic. This is the first time she has kept Golu.
