A casual kolam drawn by my sister-in-law in Thanjavur. I'm saving it here for my memory.

Here are the kolams and rangolis in this page:
- Bird Rangoli
- Inspired Chikku kolam
- Sri Rama Navami - Rama Yantra
- Clover dotted kolam
- Celtic Rangoli for St.Patrick's day
- Ducks Rangoli
- Girls ... Let's Party! Rangoli
- Single stroke kolam
This dotted kolam was an inspiration from Mrs.Mangala. http://www.ikolam.com/node/11598
The top one is without the extensions, and the other one with extensions. The idea of using red/yellow colored-dots comes from Mrs.Rajam. I learned that if I continue using my coffee table to make such kolams, I better stick with smaller designs than this one, as I barely could fit it within the breadth of the table. Suggestions to improve are welcome.
A Rama Yantra for the celebration of the birth of Lord Rama.
Here is a link that talks about the meaning of different symbols in yantras.

A Celtic clover rangoli made for St.Patrick's day. I'm dressed in green today (see my picture?).
If you're not wearing green today, I'm going to pinch you (doesn't matter if you are Irish or not).
Colored version of the Ducks-dotted rangoli. The dot count is 21 - 11, interlaced dots (idukku pulli). (Was published and unpublished later on).

This is one of my favorite dotted rangoli with girls/women in it. One could look at it as a design that shows girls playing, or girls jumproping/skipping too. I didn't want the girls wearing uniforms, and so have opted for colorful outfits, a different color for each one of them. I had labeled this rangoli for Holi, but since we have the ikolam Bangalore meet and the Chennai meet coming along soon, the word "Party!" kept zooming into focus in my head. I'm so excited for our members!
Made using Photoshop. It is a Dotted Rangoli. Dot count; 15-8, interlaced. The dots are deliberately bigger, for clarity's sake. Let me know what you think of it.
Inspired by Mrs.Rajam. Dot count: 15, 13 (2lines), 9 (2 lines), 5 (2 lines) and ending in 1 dot on all sides. I had made a colored version of the same last year and published it here. But, I had to unpublish it after an hour or so, since I didn't realize that I had published the same dotted kolam done by another member. But, this version is an animated one, as promised to Mrs.Rajam. Let me know what you think of it.
