Caption Vani's rangoli painting

Hi everybody,

We have had occasional display problems reported by our members which has puzzled us for a while. Now we know why and the problem has been taken care of.

The display problems were limited to flash player 10 only. The type of browser also does not matter. All the older versions of flash player were not affected. If you encounter any more display problems, please let us know. Thanks again for all the members who took the time to write to us.

Thanks everybody for suggesting a name for this rangoli. Now lets vote and choose the best name for the rangoli. Even though there were more than 10 suggestions, I could not accomodate more than 10 in the poll. I will keep this poll open for a couple of days.

Click here to go to the poll.

Thanks

Wishing everybody a lovely and happy valentines day!!! Here's an e-bouquet for all of you!

Here is a Charriot dotted Kolam. We would like to hear our member's experiences regarding their Rathasapthami celebrations.

I wanted to let you all know that mOhanaji has examples of kolams that have rotational and / or mirror symmetries. He has also mentioned that all kOlams must belong to any one of the ten plane rotation groups. You can check out the examples in his folder (JK Mohana Rao) from the Gallery section to get a better idea.

Hi everybody,

I'm happy to report that the rangoli queue keeps filling over, and for the first time in all these 4 years, I am not able to upload as fast as members send... and I'm so happy to share this with you all.

If you've been waiting to view your designs in the site, please bear with me for a few more days. I haven't forgotten that some of you had sent many designs at a single stretch during the contest days, some of it have been published, while others aren't. If you were a contest participant, by this time, you should be able to find your contest-entries in your folder in the Gallery section. There will be a separate category for the craft-items too, which should showcase pictures of different craft projects. I would keep you posted with regular updates. Thank you.

It was a wonderful experience hosting this kolam contest and I would like to thank you for sharing your art with all of us.
For ikolam, each entry is a winner the moment it went up on the "display board". In a day or two, all of the entries should get settled in their respective folders in the gallery section.

We also feel that the voting has been a fair and an unfair one for the following reasons:

In our opinion, it was a fair voting because the public got a chance to vote - the participants as well as the members of ikolam. Members had sufficient time to vote, the voting poll was up for 3 days which should have been enough to cover all time zones.

Congratulations to all our participants! And, the full results are here.
