Wow! 6 days of work! Beautiful mandala. They even erase it beautifully at the end of it all.

Great work! I find lot of similarities to what the priests do in Kerala. They draw Padmams, chakras and Goddess Bhagavathi at temples usung natural colors. There are special songs sung for that occassion. They are least disturbed by the noise or crowd around.
When we ourselves are reluctant to erase our hard drawn kolams we must realize the impermanence of life and gift everything to mother earth at the end! Good philosophy thro' kolams!
