Tulsi (Holy basil) is one of the most sacred plants in Hindu Tradition. Beloved by Lord Krishna, it is believed to be a form of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. It is kept in most Hindu households, as it is believed that where there is Tulsi, there is Lakshmi; and where there is Lakshmi, there is prosperity. Every part of the Tulsi plant is revered and considered sacred, including the soil around the plant, and the stone pot (madam). 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, a classic story, or an event. This doll beautifully showcases the Tulsi Madam, or pot, in great detail.
