This rangoli is made up of Samanthi flowers and Rose petals. This rangoli comprises of many star designs.
This rangoli was made of Samanthi and rose petals. This picture was taken immediately after lighting the Karthigai deepam.
The dots are 11 to 1 in between dots. I have used colour markers and sketch pens for this rangoli colour. You can use your own choice of colour powder when you put this rangoli.
Our dear friend Visalakshi, had sent a beautiful Hrudhaya kamalam kolam. An improved version of this kolam can be put with more dots. From the center dot, put 5 dots in a straight line on the 8 sides. Then, start connecting the dots from 1 line to the next line with a curved line in the order of 1,3,5,2,4,1.
This Hrudhaya kamalam is a sacred one called LAXKSMINIVAS, hence should be put in pooja room only and nobody should step on it.
With 4 dots on each side, we can draw different design by connecting 1,2,3,4 or 1,3,2,4.
This photo of the kolam was taken at the AnnualDay Function of THE STATE BANK LADIES CLUB, KOYEMBEDU, CHENNAI in this year 2008. I participated in the Rangoli Competition, and got the first prize for the same. First it was drawn on the floor by a piece of chalk. Then it was filled with colour rangoli powder, mixed with pure-white rangoli powder. With the help of a single match-stick designs were drawn on the spread-out coloured rangoli powder. Then decorated with some glittering powders, and small pieces of mirror like metal pieces. I felt so happy in getting the prize in front of all the members of the club / all my friends.
I'm proud to mention the name of the Judge. Mrs.Revati Shanmugam, daughter of Thiru. Kaviarasu Kannadasan.
This is a free hand kolam with lamps.To all wish you happy karthigai!!

This kolam has no dots, can be put with rice wet kolam maavu or with colour powder.
