Vineela's Cuisine: October 2007

‘Bommala Koluvu’ during the ‘Navaratri’ days where the display of dolls of various gods and godesses will give the children to show interest on indian mythology.We grew up by performing this custom since my childhood.For me ,i feel this festival is filled with Lots of creativity.We used to sing devotional songs in the evenings infront of bommala koluvu.Neighberhood ladies are invited to take tamboolam which consists of Kumkum,Turmeric,Betel leaves with betel nuts,fruits,flowers and prasadam .My mom makes different kind of sundal, which is made out of pulses, and offer as prasadam to the God for 9 days.
