About the Artwork +

This exquisite Meenakshi Kalyanam Golu doll by the talented artisan Baskaran Natarajan beautifully captures the divine wedding of Goddess Meenakshi and Lord Sundareswarar, a sacred event celebrated with grandeur in Madurai. The vibrant depiction showcases Goddess Meenakshi in the center, adorned in a striking orange saree with elaborate golden detailing, radiating elegance and divinity. Her green complexion, symbolizing fertility and prosperity, enhances the spiritual essence of the scene. To her right stands Lord Sundareswarar, depicted in divine pink, wearing a majestic crown and traditional attire, exuding grace and celestial charm. To her left is Lord Vishnu, her brother, painted in brilliant blue, performing the ritual of giving Meenakshi’s hand to Sundareswarar, marking the auspicious moment of the wedding. The intricately designed jewelry, expressive facial features, and flowing garments add depth and realism to the figurines. Behind them, a lush tree forming the backdrop, symbolizes the presence of nature as a witness to this divine union. The beautifully carved pedestal, painted in rich hues of blue, pink, and green, enhances the regality of the scene. Each gesture and expression in this masterpiece tells a story of love, duty, and devotion, making it a perfect addition to a Navaratri Golu display. This Golu doll not only represents the artistic brilliance of South Indian craftsmanship but also brings divine blessings, capturing the essence of sacred matrimony and tradition.

Baskaran Natarajan blue-tick

Baskaran
Baskaran Natarajan, born on June 19, 1961, is a master craftsman from Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, dedicated to the art of creating Golu dolls. These traditional dolls, crafted from materials like papier-mâché and terracotta, are a key part of the South Indian Navaratri festival. They represent gods, goddesses, mythological figures, and scenes from daily life, celebrating the divine feminine energy of Shakti. A member of the Kulalar community, Natarajan has been refining his craft for over forty years, ensuring that this ancestral art form is passed down to future generations. While honoring the traditional techniques, he has also introduced innovative designs, blending the old with the new. His exceptional skill has earned him numerous district and state-level awards. Natarajan is also a passionate educator and a community leader. He trains students and college pupils, helping them understand and appreciate the history of Golu dolls, much like the iconic Kanchipuram sarees. He also empowers women by providing them with training, enabling them to work from home and become successful entrepreneurs, all while keeping the craft alive. As a Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME), Natarajan's journey is a testament to perseverance. Despite the challenges of scaling production—as each doll is handmade and requires specific weather conditions—his passion remains strong. He has also overcome obstacles like limited customer support infrastructure, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to reaching every customer. His unique dolls, which depict not just deities but also stories of daily life and spirituality, are highly sought after by customers who want to instill moral values in their children. His immense passion and dedication to the art of Golu fuels his motivation and bring him a deep sense of honor to contribute to this old-age art form for future generations.
