Deepavali is a long festival. It starts on the 13th day and goes on until the fifth day after the new moon. Several legends are associated with this - the story of Rama, the story of Krishna, the story of Lakshmi, the story of Bali. The second day is for the brothers and the third day for the sisters. The fourth day is for the serpents (fertility rites) and the fifth day for the garuDa (to be free from snake bites). As a big brother (by age) in ikOlam, here is a present for all the younger and (may be very few) older sisters. You can see a sari designed by me with gorgeous mango borders and a paisley pallav, pEDA and murukku arranged symmetrically, coconuts, fruits, betel leaves and turmeric. Enjoy!
Octagonal (four-fold symmetry) and oval (two-fold symmetry) lamps with lotus motif for dIpAvaLi. Enjoy! - mOhana.
Here is a dIpAvaLi rangOli. It has three types of lamps - hexagonal, triangular and oval. Incidentally, each type represents the type of symmetry in that area. Enjoy!

Here is an assemblage with the punctuation mark question. Any resemblance to the mystic symbol OM is intentional.

Starting from the polar dots, a basic unit was created and from that the moodles were obtained.
