Golu 2014



This year my theme is "Ramayana tales" .  I have created the following 14  scenes from Ramayana and I have made some of the  dolls myself with polymer clay.  I made all the props for the scenes.  

Also, as a return gift I created my own "Ramayana adventures" game in the lines of monopoly board game. I thought this will be an interesting way to get our children to learn the great epic. 

* Bala kanda: Birth of Rama  (Handmade cradles)
* Bala kanda: Thadaka vadam (Handmade backdrop)
* Bala kanda: Sita swayamvar (Handmade Rama doll )
* Ayodhya kanda: Guhan helps Rama cross Ganga. (Handmade boat, Rama, Sita and Lakshmana dolls)
