“Its time for yet another festival – one which gives me the maximum opportunity to use my creativity – Navaratri – the festival of nine nights. These nine nights (and days) are dedicated to the goddess in her myriad forms, and this festival is a celebration of not just the mother goddess, but also her creations. For us, South-Indians, Navaratri is a time for the Bommai Kolu (or Golu), a series of steps with dolls placed on them, and also a time for socialization.”
