I had this snap. Looking by the center design, I think it was done by Rajamma. Adjusted the colour and contrast in the computer as it was a bit old snap. It looks very beautiful and colourful. Kaivannam yaaroda?

Simple free hand rangoli with wet rice Maavu, suitable for small area like infront of flats.
We created a kolam based on the sankeerthana of sri annamaachaarya "brahma kadigina paadamu"as his jayanthi is being celebrated on 9'th may.2009.
Brahma kadiginaa paadamu
Brahmamu taane ni paadamu
Chelagi vasudha golichina nee paadamu
Bali thala mopina paadamu
Talakaga gaganamu thannina paadamu
Bala ripu gaachina paadamu
kaamini paapamu kadigina paadamu
paamu thalanidina paadamu
premapu sri sathi pisikedi paadamu
paamidi thuragapu paadamu
Parama yogulaku pari pari vidhamula
Paramosagedi nee paadamu
Tiru Venkatagiri tiramani choopina
Parama padamu nee paadamu
meaning of this sankeerthan is as follows-------
in the above sankeerthana ,sri annamaachaarya describes in detail most gloriously and vividly,the protective and mukthi pradaana blessings of the holy feet of lord vishnu.the various incidents taken place during the different avathaaraas like varaaha,vaamana,raama,krishna and kalki are praised.to annamayya allthese avathaaraas are those of sri venkateswara swami only.

8th of may this year has many special attributes. Narasimha jeyanthy, Chitra poornima, sampadh gowri viradham, chitragupta pooja, deivendra pooja all fall in this day. So a special kolam today!
This is also one of my favourite kolam. I learnt izhaikolam from my mother. She puts complicated izhai kolams very casually.
Used rice flour and red powder for the border. I made this kolam using kola kuzhai and this kolam is my own imagination.
This was drawn in our house lawn. And this should be drawn by using only contrast colours.
with dot count 7 to 4 inbetween dots we can put number of designs. One for taste.
Todays kolam. Again one of my favourite.
19:1 is the dot count..
Learnt this kolam from my school friend, Meenakshi Sundaram who got first prize in rangoli school competition.
