Marapachi Dolls are traditional dolls made of Country wood which are displayed during the Golu festival in South India as part of Dasara or Navaratri celebrations. These dolls made in pairs generally of male (Raja) and female (Rani) are dressed up by children as part of plaything and displayed during the Golu or "Bommai Kolu" or Bommala Koluvu in Sankranti festival.
