My sister Uma works with LIC Bombay. They had a rangoli comptn in their office. These are some of the entries, her entry being the one with green and pink squares. I will ask her to become a member of Ikolam.

Hi.. here is just a border, felt like sharing with u all.. Thanks. Have a nice day!

The paDi in paDikOlam represents a step. Where do we find steps? We find them in the temple tanks. So in a way, paDikOlam is a paDikuzham! I found two such unuusual tanks in south India. They are in neigbouring states, not on the coast. Normally I don't mix up paDikOlams. This is an exception. One is in square shape with intricate architercture in the design of steps. I am representing the aerial view. The other is in an octagonal form. Here is my idealisation of both. Can you find the locations of these? Regards! - mOhana
