The below one is about the current issue between Karnataka and Tamilnadu. You guessed it right, dolls depicting Kaveri issue. The supreme court judges are relpaced by Ganesha here, and also CMs of both the states in the court :). I laughed a lot looking at this doll arrangement 🙂
Another one is a beautiful Lakshmi doll. This doll is from Pune and its Gowri(Parvati) doll. The lady’s creativity has changed this doll to look like Goddess Lakshmi. Isn’t it adorable?
In many houses this custom is celebrated from past 100 years. So I could see some very old dolls. The below one is a doll , which more than 100 years old. You can see the difference in the color:
And this is collection of utensil sets. Most of us had these kind of sets during our childhood. Nowadays these are replaced by plastic ones:
Visiting all these houses to view and judge the arrangement was a wonderful experience.This tradition makes us kids. All of us enjoyed like kids, in the world of dolls.I was feeling, for those dolls we must have looked like giants 🙂
Many sarees are designed, have worked on some hand embroidered projects. Soon share those with you.
Until then,
