Are both wooden and metal steps allowed for Golu? Why do people generally use wooden steps? Is it ok to use metal steps? Would appreciate some inputs

thanks

i think there is no harm in using metal steps for golu. may be for
maintenance sake some may not prefer metal.

Metal steps

This could only be an arrangement as per convenience (Yatha sowgaryam). No sastras/sampradayas. Only space issue counts. There was a time when wood was cheaper than iron, raw rice costlier than boiled rice, sweets costlier than savouries etc. Slotted angle seems ideal for these days which will ensure max. space utilisation and saving:noidea:.

The toys which are displayed in the Golu have undergone lot of changes. We display not only toys made of clay and wood but also plastic, metals etc. Golu stand can also be metal instead of wood. I think there is no hard and fast rule for both display items and stand.

When we buy Golu toys, we are indirectly supporting artistes and craftmen who produce it.
Metal stands are being used for quite a long time and I earnestly feel there is no harm in it.

Slotted angle steps for Kolu

There is nothing wrong in using Iron steps for Kolu.It is more of a tradition or sampradaya .There is nothing ritualistic about it but for keeping the Kalasa for investiture of Devi in that.Otherwise it is pure laukika sampradayam

It is only matter of convenience. Metal steps are easily detachable and uses less space for storage.

Metal Steps For Golu

I would rather prefer light weight detachable plastic steps if some mfg.units bring them to the market.
