Indra madam, when sashank insisted that he will put rangoli for GOD, I helped him to put this in your style. Ofcourse he was so happy after putting it.

In kAlidAsA's RtusaMhAram, you will find the following poem:

aa mUlatO vidrumarAgatAmraM
sapallavaM pushpachayaM dadhAnAH
kurvatyaSOkA hRdayaM saSOkaM
nirIkshyamANA navayauvanAnAm

From top to bottom
the trees are resplendant
with the copper red flower bunches
Alas, the joy-giving aSOkA blooms
are filling with sorrow
the hearts of the love-lorn young ones

The aSOka flower is also one of the five flower-arrows of manmatha.
These flowers are coral red. Of course, we all know that sItA spent her
time in the aSOkavana as a prisoner of rAvaNa. It is also called vanjula
in Sanskrit. In one of jayadEva's ashTapadis (haririha mugdha vadhUnikarE)
there is a mention of manjula vanjula!

Here are some patterns with an idealised aSOka flower.
The spring is around the corner, is it not?

Regards! - mOhana

Rangoli: Friday's rangoli

This rangoli I made today in front of my house. It is freehand.

Rangoli: Knitted cap
Created by Visitor on 2009-03-20,

I got a knitting kit for a Christmas present. I finally made use of it in one of the weekends, and knitted a cap for my kitty! Yesterday I finished knitting a blue cap for myself. I'm putting it to good use. I already wore it to school to show my teacher and all my friends. My mom has asked me to make her a cap too!

Rangoli: My teddy bears
Created by SuriK on 2009-03-20,

I had my 5th birthday party in a place called "Build a bear workshop". It is a place where they help you build your own bear. They provide you with some of the basic materials like the fur, filler-material and bows. It was fun to build our own bears!

Last year, I decided to dress up my bears with different outfits. Finding a pretty outfit for my girl teddy bear was easy, I just took one of my outgrown formal dresses. But for the boy teddy bear, I had to think and come up with a few ideas. Everyone in my family laughed when I showed them my boy teddy bear wearing a rug around him. He had one of my mom's silk blouse borders for a towel over his shoulder. I thought they looked very nice!
What do you think?
