As the air fills with the auspicious chants and the vibrant hues of autumn set in, the much-awaited Navaratri festival ushers in a period of devotion, celebration, and artistic expression. A cornerstone of this nine-night spectacle, especially in Southern India, is the elaborate arrangement of 'Kolu' – a dazzling display of dolls representing gods, goddesses, saints, and scenes from daily life, carefully curated on stepped platforms.
Embracing and promoting this cherished cultural tradition, The Hindu Group proudly announces the return of its annual 'The Hindu Kolu Kondattam'.
This highly anticipated competition invites families from Tiruchi, Perambalur, and Ariyalur districts to showcase their creativity, devotion, and meticulous artistry in arranging these symbolic doll displays.
Kolu Kondattam is more than just a competition; it's a vibrant celebration of heritage, a community gathering, and a platform for individuals and families to express their devotion through traditional art.
Each Golu tells a unique story, with families often passing down dolls through generations, adding new ones, and meticulously planning their arrangements months in advance. The competition seeks to acknowledge and reward this dedication and passion.
Participants are encouraged to present their most captivating and thoughtfully arranged Kolu displays.
Whether it's a traditional depiction of mythological narratives, a contemporary theme, or an innovative blend of both, all forms of artistic expression are welcome. The judging panel will consider various aspects, including theme, arrangement, creativity, and adherence to traditional elements, while looking for that unique spark that makes each Golu special.
The Hindu Group extends a warm invitation to all eligible households to be part of this cultural extravaganza.
To participate, residents of Tiruchi, Perambalur, and Ariyalur districts are requested to submit their entries by the specified deadline. Details regarding the registration process and guidelines can be found by reaching out to the organizers or visiting The Hindu Group's official channels.
Beyond the joy of participation, attractive prizes and exclusive gift hampers await the winners, making the effort even more rewarding.

Don't miss this wonderful chance to celebrate Navaratri with unparalleled enthusiasm and creativity. Prepare your exquisite Golu arrangements and get ready to be a part of 'The Hindu Kolu Kondattam' – a true testament to our rich cultural tapestry.
