We have tried to emulate The Sankaranayinar Gomathi Amman temple of Sankarankovil as this year’s theme in our Kolu.
I have sent a few photos through email too to participate in the Kolu contest 2025.
Almost 95% of the display is made at home including Nandi, Dhwajasthambam, trees, etc.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Appreciate this. Mail us a few photos and 6 lines on the theme, the unique features of the dolls, etc and your name and short address. Mail – [email protected]
