Hi
What is the difference between Rangoli and kolam. I am participating a rangoli competition in Singapore. Can the Rangoli can also dots or should it be only a free hand drawing. Also can we decorate the rangoli with floors also ?
Please post me some good rangoli for the competition.


Rangoli Vs Kolam
The term "Rangoli" is known more globally than "kolam". Kolam is a tamil word for rangoli and doesn't have to be colored...whereas rangolis are always made colored. Rangoli can be made with or without dots and can be a freestyle drawing. It can be colored with flours, lentils, flowers, sand or anything that you want to decorate with.
Regarding some ideas to get you started with, please look at our rangoli section in the site.
Thanks and goodluck! :D
