During Navratri, one of the most beautiful traditions in South India is the arrangement of dolls, depicting deities and stories from our great epics and Puranas.
This tradition is not merely a celebration of creativity, especially among young children, but also a wonderfully engaging way of introducing them to our rich cultural heritage, mythology and timeless stories.
Today, we had a bunch of very excited young visitors at home who enthusiastically and correctly identified all the dolls arranged by Sivasri!
This is how our civilisation has preserved and passed on its cultural knowledge and heritage, from one generation to the next. Festival after festival, year after year, generation after generation, an unbroken continuity of culture and tradition.
This is how a civilisation stays alive!
