Sri Aniruddha was asking for marigolds. This one has chrysanthemums instead. It has a hexagonal steps, tear shapes and their mirror images (six inside and twelve outside), a central red coloured circle with twelve little circles around, crescent moons, six lamps and six flowers. Six and twelve are important numbers in the Hindu mythology. I'll leave it to the viewers give their significance. Regards! - mOhana

Coreopsis is a summer flower. It has eight petals with an approximate eight-fold symmetry. A flower with eight petals is quite rare. I found three varieties in yellow, red and pink. Here is an assemblage of these. Enjoy!

Here is a paDikOlam with six-fold symmetry. It has wavy lines, a hexagonal lattice with a lamp in the centre, 240 degree circles at the outside, six petalled flowers, and lamps. Besides the seven lamps, if you look carefuuly, you'll see six more lamps. Do you see them? Enjoy!

A paDikOlam was drawn using squares, semicicrcles, octagons, lamps, lunes and tendrils. Note the arrangement of the five inside-out "lotus" patterns at the centre. These half lotuses were used to create the pattern outside the squares. Hope you enjoy it!

This is another hexagonal paDikOlam I created. Hope you like it. Enjoy!

My original idea was to create a hexagonal paDikOlam. However, I ended with this six-faced beauty shaNmukhi 
It is a layered pattern and a bit intricate. I wish somebody recreates this on the floor.
