Kolu Festival

It is festival time here in India. It seems like every week there is some kind of prayer (pooja) or festival that is being celebrated.

We were invited to attend a Kolu, which is a display of dolls from the different parts of India. Women collect these dolls throughout the years and display them in the corner of their home during Navratri.
This was a small display at Global Adjustments (our relocation company)







Here is a link to the local paper.....Bollywood here we come!

We went to another display at our friends house. This was AMAZING. These dolls have been in their family for over 4 generations.


During these displays there are also musicians playing tradional music.

Stay tuned....Diwali (the festival of lights) is coming up.
