About paDikOlam-26 : PRINT

This is again a moody doodle done without any idea of how the final pattern may look like! I just drew some line pattern in red in paint and used it and its mirror image to create the central pattern and the patterns that are on the sides of the square lines and added frills later. Hope you enjoy and your comments are most welcome!

Sumangali Rangoli
"Sumangali" means married women. It is customary, for a married hindu woman, to invite other married ladies for a religious ritual (puja), followed by a feast during festival days like Ugaadhi, Dasara and for Varalakshmi pooja. After the feast, the ladies are offered gifts which have symbols of "auspiciousness" like the turmeric, vermillion, flowers and beetle leaves (with areca nuts). This rangoli was created by Lakshmi and Bharathi. It has items like: Betal leaves (with nuts) placed with coins, fruits, cones of mehendhi or henna, flowers on plates, soaps, talcum powder boxes, colorful glass bangles, coconut oil in small plastic bottles, Kajal boxes, mini boxes of turmeric and kumkum (vermillion).

The neon lines are looking very good. Nice tear drop shapes with sharp edges - a nice little pattern to use here and there. I especially like how the four flowers have been used along the corners of the nested squares.
Oh, and a nice ambigram gold lettering at the top left. Smile

Mohanaji, your way of making kolams is different and very nice. I like the outer square and the small flowers very much. THe surrounding bindis add more beauty to this kolam.
