• This symbolizes the ongoing struggle between good and evil and the immense effort required to attain Amrita, or spiritual immortality.

This Kolu bommai Golu doll captures not just stillness but the dynamic energy of divine will that moves the cosmos.

The Story of Thiruparkadal & Samudra Manthan
At the beginning of time, Lord Vishnu reclined in Thiruparkadal—the cosmic ocean. From his navel sprang a lotus upon which Brahma was born to initiate creation.
When the Devas lost their strength due to a curse, Vishnu advised them to churn the Thiruparkadal along with the Asuras to obtain Amrita—the nectar of immortality.
• Mount Mandara served as the churning rod, Vasuki as the rope, and the entire cosmos held its breath.
• Out came divine gifts: Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth; Dhanvantari, the celestial healer; and Kamadhenu, the wish-giving cow.
• But before the nectar, arose Halahala, a potent poison threatening all existence—until Lord Shiva heroically drank it, earning the name Neelakantha (blue-throated one).
• Ultimately, Vishnu manifested as Mohini to ensure Amrita reached the Devas.
This Golu doll captures the divine stillness that precedes this great churning—a scene of Vishnu’s poised readiness to uphold dharma, even from rest.
