This is a free hand rangoli drawn in front my house.
I made this today. I did this using rangoli tubes.
12-12 straight dots kolam. i think these elephants welcome ugadhi to our home
This Rangoli is created on the eve of Virodhi nama samvatsara Ugadi. Middle rangoli is 9 dots - 3 rows - upto 3
Here is wishing you all a happy Indian lunar new year!
May there be no virOdhis in virOdhi!
These are patterns made with neem leaves, a part of bEvu bella, the first food
to be eaten on the new year's day. Why am I highlighting the bitter neem?
Only when there is bitterness will we know the value of sweetness, is it not?

This cute Ganesha can don your pooja room on any festive occassion I am sure... the Ganesha was the basic kolam which I had copied from a book years ago... I developed the mandap and the offerings myself later on.... I had actually made it in black and white which I loved and wanted to upload as it is - because I too believe that black and white is always best looking.... but Anita tempted me to colour it and this is the outcome.... more Ganeshas to follow soon.
Happy ugadhi wishes to all of our kolam friends.
(tried out a computer kolam).

I have created two ordinary well-known rangOlis with strings.
Why with strings? The lines have no thickness. Therefore if one draws rangOlis
with lines, then the third dimension is lacking. So mirror reflections are quite
common. But since strings have thickness, these types of symmetries are eliminated.
We get only pure rotational symmetries in the rangOlis. In each of the given rangOlis,
there are two strings that interweave. One can see these alternately going up
and down. Since I used nylon material, the strings are taut and I have to use
cellophane tape so that the strings follow the pattern drawn on paper.
Please feel free to comment. Regards! - mOhana
