A series of kolams done during the diwali week at my residence.
This is a simple free hand design made with kolapodi and decorated with color rangoli powder. could not take the poto when diyas were lighted.
I have already introduced the sona drawings with relatively prime numbers of rows and columns as well as sona squares formed with such sona drawings. I am presenting now four sona squares put together. This has eight lines. Draw this as a kOlam and enjoy!

Everytime I saw Lakshmi's intricate patterns being uploaded, I would be tempted to copy one of them.. The only problem was time, as I knew that I would have to spend sufficient time to do atleast 50% justice to her work. Finally I have managed to try out one of her designed tablecloth patterns (http://ikolam.com/node/4764?p=1116) and hope I have not offended her with the end product.. LAKSHMI THIS IS MY TRIBUTE TO YOU AND HOPE YOU LIKE IT
Sorry Sangeethaji, i took long time to complete, this was kind of challange as the picture you provided was angled too much. Hope, i could get some how close to it. Thanks to mOhanaji for giving the dot graph-software link, which helped me to take dots printout and draw many more times to make it more perfect.
The dot counts 12 X 12 . Outer border is just free hand, no dots
Pushpaji's wet maavu Navrathri kolam, I tried with color kolapodi.Hope this copycat is ok.
Deepavali is a long festival. It starts on the 13th day and goes on until the fifth day after the new moon. Several legends are associated with this - the story of Rama, the story of Krishna, the story of Lakshmi, the story of Bali. The second day is for the brothers and the third day for the sisters. The fourth day is for the serpents (fertility rites) and the fifth day for the garuDa (to be free from snake bites). As a big brother (by age) in ikOlam, here is a present for all the younger and (may be very few) older sisters. You can see a sari designed by me with gorgeous mango borders and a paisley pallav, pEDA and murukku arranged symmetrically, coconuts, fruits, betel leaves and turmeric. Enjoy!
