Parle had introduced the novel promotion called Parle Golu Galata contest in 2005. (Golu means Doll & Galata means Dhammal.)

PARLE GOLU GALATA CONTESTIt started in the year 2005 as a small initiative by Parle to revive fading custom of making Golus in Tamil Nadu and thereby preserve the heritage and culture has grown into a big movement. In Tamil Nadu, traditionally, women decorate various dolls (kolus) made of clay during Navaratri celebrations.This display is well decorated and friends and relatives are invited to witness this custom. It was found that due to time pressures and lack of interest in younger generations, this tradition was slowly dying and getting restricted to a select few households.Thus, to revive the fading tradition, Parle introduced this promotion called Parle Golu Galata contest. The festival of Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi started as a house visit project. The journey began with house visits, appreciating people who keep Golu in their houses by visiting them and selecting the best Golus, which were given prizes in a grand function. During Navaratri, From year 2008 to 2010, Parle sent more than 60 teams of judges to visit more than 15000 homes across ten cities of Tamil Nadu.In 2011 a community Golu was organized, and people were invited to display their Golu making skills and golus. The event earned a place in the Guinness World Record for "The Largest Golu" consisting of about 70000golus
