Rangoli Kolam






Kolam is an auspicious art of decorating courtyards and pooja rooms/prayer for hindus drawn mainly by women and girls. Some women use rice flour to draw a kolam, which is the traditional medium to be used while others use colourful rice. Generally, a kolam is drawn with bare fingers using predetermined dots. The dots are either connected together to make a pattern or loops are drawn encircling the dots to complete a design. Nowadays there are perforated rolling tubes, perforated trays and stencils available to speed the process of making kolams. During festivals and weddings, rice flour paste is used instead of the flour. This tradition of decorating with kolams is passed on from generation to generation.

But as im too interested on this wonderful art by the Indian , i try to figure it out , how to do it .When i was small , i used to see my neighbour, as housewife from india will draw a very nice kolam daily, and than i decide , i should do that and end up i will running through the whole hse, whatelse my mum will chase after me with rotan , as i will do my kolam on the wall and sofa, kekekeke.
