The colorful display near the checkout counters at a local grocery store here in Chennai caught my eye. The multi-tiered display is part of the Navatri Kolu festival. In South India (particularly in Tamil Nadu) these displays of dolls are set up in homes (and sometimes businesses), with friends and families invited to stop by and see the creations of the mother and daughter(s). Of course, the sharing of sweets are a part of the visit as well. This display has various gods and goddesses as well as ordinary-looking people. Aesthetically I don't find most Kolu dolls very attractive, but that's the prevailing style.
