Its that time of the year, my whole family eagerly wait for, that's
Navratri. Navratri starts from 25th Sept, this year. Just two days left and am lagging with my preparation for the bombe arrangement at home. Hubby has lot of plans for this year's arrangement. Will post my bombe pics by this weekend, once the festival starts and we are done with our doll set up.
Meanwhile, here is a peak to the dolls sold here in Mumbai for Navratri. Matunga is know to be the mini South India of Mumbai. Be it the flower shops or the banana shops inside the market, or the Udupi Shri Krishna Hotel and the Mysore Silk Saree Showrooms, the place has every thing a south Indian looks for. So this is the place where you can expect the navratri dolls too. Giri stores in Matunga have navratri dolls for sale. They also have the Golu padi(the stand to arrange dolls), decorative items, sarees, girls traditional frocks(reshme langa/pattu pavadai). They have a huge collection, here are few of them,
