These are Margazhi Rangolis of 2016-17. My apartment corridor has a green granite flooring with a yellow design inbetween. So when i make nice rangolis the design will spoil the kolam. Last year Navarathri I started sticking a plain laminate sheet matching the granite colour during special rangoli days. That gave a nice background for my kolams. As these were before the kolams don't stand out well. But still sharing them.The genre for 10 days of Margazhi was Chikku kolam with wet rice flour and after drying adding some colour to boost up
