Your first 'scented' chikku kolam?? I don't believe it!! Looks too good for a first attempt. Extremely neat work and beautiful symmetry. I am sure the whole place would have had a wonderful smell for a long time :)

Excellent start for the sikku kolam. I agree with the others. It looks as if it is drawn from an experienced hand. Thank you and good luck.

This is a lovely kOlam! I like it. The colour too is catchy :-) By the way, pardon my ignorance, what is santAnam powder? I know what santAnam is and what powder is, but not what the combination means. Regards! - mOhana

Sandhanam powder is sandalwood powder. You get sandalwood powder balls available in stores. We just have to mix a ball with some water, in order to get the paste, for our use (this is what we use for Chandan-kumkum bindis for the god's pictures/shrines etc) Very nice work! Thanks for sharing your fragrant artwork with all of us.

nice sikku scented kolam. i had tried this on paper to copy partially for the border but got knotted :( ... hence left it half a way, may be next time should give a try.
