Veena Ravi has spent the past 20-25 years collecting a variety of dolls. At her home in Basavanagudi, she has recreated the underwater city of Dwarka using more than 6,000 Dasara figurines. Every year, they select a new theme from Hindu mythology to showcase through the figurines. This year, their focus is on Dwarka, the sacred city that, according to legend, was engulfed by the Arabian Sea following Lord Krishna's departure from the earthly realm.

This cherished family tradition has gained local popularity, drawing around 100 visitors daily during the Dasara festival. The elaborate display preparation starts months ahead, with meticulous attention to detail as the figurines are arranged starting in August.
