There is always a special sense of satisfaction and fulfilment in following and carrying forward family traditions.
Sankranthi Bommala Koluvu has been a tradition in my Amma’s family, while Dasara Bommala Koluvu has been a cherished tradition in my in-laws’ family.
As the years go by, the energy to arrange an elaborate Koluvu may gradually come down. Yet, somewhere in our hearts, we never feel like letting go of these beautiful traditions. Even a small Koluvu is enough — because what truly matters is not the grandeur of the arrangement, but the memories, emotions, and legacy it carries.
The Koluvu may become smaller, but the tradition must go on!
I inherited some beautiful Bommalu from my Amma, some of which are 60, 70, 80, 90, and even over 100 years old. The rest are dolls I have lovingly collected over the years. Each doll has its own story, carrying a little piece of our family’s history from one generation to the next.
May this beautiful legacy continue for generations to come!
అందరికీ విజయదశమి శుభాకాంక్షలు!
