A celebration of kolus

Thiruvananthapuram | Friday | 22nd September, 2017

Summary:

But not this couple for whom R&R comes from diving headlong into more trips to source new kolu dolls. It is that time of the year again when antique, art and craft collectors Rohini Sen and Eshwar Naidu usher in Navrathri with their ever-expanding collection of kolu dolls. The kolus for this year are an all-new collection of myriad sets, each a re-enactment of stories from mythology, complete with replicas of temples or recreations of popular temples and royal processions including a Dasara Jumbo Savari Set. The couple also has an extensive collection of antique furniture, tin, porcelain and celluloid dolls, vintage cars and posters. That’s at least a 1,000 unique dolls sourced from select traditional craftsmen in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka..
