About a pattern of saumya vijay ...

About a pattern of soumya vijay that attracted my attention.
There is a statement in telugu - evaDi gOla vADidi. That means each one has his pet likes and dislikes. When something attracts them, each person tries to react according to his/her own likes and dislikes. The other day I viewed a really beautiful chikku kOlam of SrImati saumya - http://www.ikolam.com/node/19811?p=7435 . It attracted my attention immediately. It is nothing but a modification of a 2 x 3 sOnA pattern (now you know why I preambled this blog like that :-). A 2x3 sOnA and a 3x2 sOna (or 2x3 rotated by 90 deg) were placed side by side with a gap as shown. This twin pattern was rotated by 90, 180, 270 degrees and joined together. Then this square pattern becomes a sOnA square with two lines. She filled the central space also with a 2x3 related sOnA with more than one line. I recreated the whole rangOli in my own way and the central pattern I redrew in such a way that it has only one line. While she drew this only for a 2x3 sOnA, one can extend this to any sOnA pattern with a single line. I already extended this concept to a 3x4 and 3x5 sOnA pattern which I will upload in the usual way to the rangOli section. I am writing this to explain the basic principle behind this. I am thankful to saumya for making me think along these lines.
