Our story
Four decades of golu
in Old Pet
Since 1981 the Kandhan family has shaped Ganesha, Dasara and golu dolls in Old Pet, Krishnagiri — clay pressed into moulds, dried in the sun, and painted by hand, one face at a time.
The Golu Shop is that same workshop, now open to families everywhere. Nothing is mass-produced; every doll carries the small differences of the hand that made it.
No prices online — by design
From your wish-list to your padi
Every family's golu is different, so every quotation is personal. Here is how it works.
