When evil arises or threatens the world, Lord Vishnu is believed to appear to defend and protect the world. Perumal Thayar is one of the powerful manifestations of Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi. Typically, Perumal is portrayed as having four arms and holding a Padma (lotus flower) in the lower left hand, a Kaumodaki Gada (mace) in the lower right hand, a Panchajanya Shankha (conch) in the upper left hand, and a Sudarshana Chakra (discus) in the upper right hand. Thayar, his consort who stands beside him, bestows the blessing of wealth. These details are beautifully captured in this stunning paper mache golu set.

Golu is a doll and figurine tradition, performed during the festival of Navaratri. It is a padi (set of steps) decorated with Bommais (dolls), of all shapes and sizes. Each doll represents a Hindu figure or a classic story. With its intricate detail and vibrant colours, this Perumal Thayar bommai is an excellent addition to your Navaratri Golu display.
