About paDikOlam-13 : PRINT

This is a rather novel one I made. The triangular gOpurams are more north Indian than south Indian with more elongation. The red and grey (nearest to white colour) dotted border is a new innovation. It is a sona drawing extended on all four sides. I call this a sona square. Each sona drawing is a 2 X 13 drawing (2 rows, 13 columns). We know such a sona drawing is a single line. What is interesting is if one combines four such sona drawings to form a square, we get two lines, not a single line. This is an exciting result, for me Outside this, I have my curlies and tendrils and lamps. Hope you enjoy!

Regards! - mOhana

The red and gray lines look very nice in this design. The maroon colored squares at the center are also beautiful to look at.

Your new design is bringing out such imaginative vision from Indira also.The gopuram looks like the hands of the lady doing Pranaam to the kolam!!!

Very Innovative Design, JKMji.... Your Sona Square is truly amazing..... the double brackets make a good frame to the Centre Design..... the tendrils & the diya give a delightful appearance to the Creation..... really superb, Sir..

Looks very traditional as well as innovative!
mOhanaji, perhaps, you might have heard that 3 stripes are not used to draw kolam, in general.
It is considered to be inauspicious.
I don't know whether it is followed everywhere or only in Tamilnadu.
