As deeply rooted in tradition as Dasara is, it also provides an opportunity for creative expression through the art of doll (bombe) arrangements.
In Bengaluru, many communities use this as a platform to pass on unique social and cultural messages, especially to the younger generations.
A bunch of city-based social groups, working under the umbrella of #ReclaimConstitution, has organised a month-long Dasara dolls display at Janapada Loka with ‘Sarva Janaangada Shantiya Thota’, (a peaceful garden of people of all faiths) as the central theme. The display also includes dolls representing various faiths like Buddhism (Buddha), Jainism (Gommateshwara), Islam (the Kaaba), Christianity (Nativity scene), and Hinduism (Temple Gopura).
