Here are the names of the participants. We've marked a few of the submissions as "maybe" because we're not sure if these are for the contests. We're still waiting for the confirmation from some of our potential participants. Please contact us if you are a participant, and you don't see your name here, and upload (or re-upload) your image.

Hi friends
The next ikolam meet will be on 8th Jan 2011, at Dakshin Chitra, a cultural museum/heritage village on ECR road, Chennai.It is open for ikolam members from all over the world. Please start booking your tickets for the mega meet.

This is the time of the year when the iKolam server comes under severe stress. Some members have emailed me personally and some have posted online about connection issues. Some received "Access denied" messages for certain pages. To alleviate the situation, we have disabled certain provisions of the server (like Account/Track, which burdens the server quite a bit). Hopefully this should enable us to get through this season.

We're happy to announce our traditional Diwali rangoli contest for this year. Our sister site IMehndi.com is conducting its first Henna/mehndi contest. For further details, please visit the following links:
