Ramsons creates new dolls for every new edition of Bombe Mane. This year (2023) Raghu Dharmendra has designed unique Navarasa dolls which were created as lathe-turned wooden lacquerware dolls. Navarasa (nine emotions) are different emotions that a dance artiste has to emote during his/her performance in the classical Indian dance and it was codified by Bharata in his Natyashastra.
Each doll has been designed like a Bharatanatya dancer girl with her hair in a topknot. The Sun and Moon hair ornaments and the Odyana (waist band) are designed as Mysore style jewellery. The saree with the front open-fan-like frills mimic the typical Bharatanatya dance costume. Colours of the sarees symbolise respective Rasa (emotion).
