Dolls
embody charm and their stories narrate human history and culture. Carrying the
tales of the known and unknown alike, dolls possess the power to enamour,
enchant and entertain.
They are
the remedial companions to many across all cultures whenever one lacks hope,
strength or peace of mind. Most of the time they are silent playmates and are
considered harbingers of luck and happiness.
Dolls
are associated with several traditional practices and rituals across India.
Mysore is home for one such unique tradition in which dolls take the
centre-stage. This royal city is the proud seat of Dasara doll festival which
transforms every abode into a magical doll-house while the palace turns into a
fairy land of pomp, pageantry and the twinkling silhouette of countless light
bulbs.
Bombe
Mane - the iconic doll house, began 20 years ago as a doll heaven, in Mysore,
to design, create and source varieties of dolls that fulfill the need of doll
connoisseurs. Every section of display is populated with joyful sets of dolls
made by hundreds of skilled artists from across the country.
This
year’s first special display is ‘Vrunda Vihara’ eulogising Tulasi, the
ubiquitous shrub grown in a sacred pot and venerated in most Hindu households
across India. Each and every region has a different style of Tulasi pot made of
either stone, clay or metal (brass/bronze). Goddess Tulasi is worshipped by the
whole of creation. It is said that her roots are the abode of sacred rivers,
the divine knowledge of Vedas reside in her stem while each and every leaf of
hers is home to a God. Several stories of Tulasi abound, especially her
association with Krishna is celebrated. Every year many Hindu families
commemorate her wedding with Krishna Damodara on the day of Utthaana Dwadashi.
The
second diorama is ‘Santa Samrajya’. India is a land of sages and seers who have
enriched it with their thoughts and teachings. Portraits of popular and
regional sages have been grouped together to add spiritual touch to the
collection.
The
final showcase displays ‘Chitra Mruga’. Indian mythology abounds in fantastical
creatures like Yali, Gandabherunda, Gaja Pakshi, Sarpa Pakshi, et al. A
mythical menagerie of these liminal creatures has been conjured in this 20th
edition of Bombe Mane. This year marks the centenary of the inception of Mysore
Karaga - Goddesses Chamundeshwari and Maariamma are invoked in two earthen pots
which are decorated with scores of jasmine strings and carried on the head in
procession over five days, every summer. These twin goddesses of Mysore along
with their retinue have been conceived in clay, marking another milestone in
our project of creating new dolls. The flavour of the season, baby Rama of
Ayodhya, has been brought alive in the form of clay and paper machie dolls by
skilled artisans along with hundreds of dolls.
Come,
witness this wonderland of dolls and be a part of our celebration of Dasara.
Welcome to Bombe Mane 2024.
