Marapachi Dolls, also known as Marapachi Bommais (literal meaning: "wooden dolls"), are traditional dolls made specifically of red sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) or silk-cotton-wood (Bombax) or red wood (Sequoioideae) which are displayed during the Golu festival in South India as part of Dassara or Navaratri celebrations. These dolls made in pairs generally of male and female are dressed up by children as part of plaything and displayed during the Golu or "Bommai Kolu" festival. Tirupathi is one of the locations where it is specially ornamentally carved, and the dolls are stated to represent Venkateshwara and his consort. They are also made in Kondapalli as Raja-Rani (King and Queen) dolls which are a compulsory display during the Golu festival.
