Rangoli: Daily Kolam
Created by sjnt on 2009-03-21,

Hai all,

This is my first post to ikolam. Was waiting for the kolam to dry, before that someone stamped on it. Still, sending it even though it is nothing great.

Shortly, I'll send my works to arts and crafts section.

Rangoli: The aSOka flowers are waving in the spring breeze!

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?
