Rangoli of the day
Skanda Sashti, also known as Kanda Sashti, is the most important festival dedicated to Lord Murugan. Skanda Sashti is observed mainly by Tamil Hindus. The day of Skanda Sashti is decided based on lunar month and it falls during sixth day of Karthika Masam.
During Kanda Sashti, devotees observe six days fasting which starts from first day or Pirathamai of Karthika lunar month and ends on the sixth day which is known as Soorasamharam day. Soorasamharam is the final and the most important day of the six days festivities. It is believed that Lord Murugan defeated Demon Surapadman on the very same day and the festival of Soorasamharam is observed every year to mark the victory of good over evil.
It is important to note that the day when Shasti Tithi conjugates with Panjami Tithi is chosen for Soorasamharam Vratam. Hence most temples observe Kanda Sashti on Panjami Tithi if Shasti Tithi starts before sunset on Panjami Tithi.
Kanda Sashti celebrations at Thiruchendur Murugan Temple are the most famous one. The six days celebrations which start from Pirathamai of Karthika Masam culminate on Soorasamharam day. Thiru Kalyanam is observed on the next day of Soorasamharam..

This is a stain glass painting done by me to gift it to my aunty for house warming function and in this i did not use any filling for background i left it plain by framing with another glass. hope you all like this too..
Last Sunday I went to my brother-in-law's house and my niece's 3 yr old son was playing with his toys. He opened a box of colour blocks and wanted me to help him make the designs that were in the given catalogue. I made one design but then I suddenly was overcome with an urge to make my own design. Here is the collage of the before and after of the colour blocks. It was quite unfortunate that the number of different colours were insufficient for me to make a colour symmetric design - so I had to make do with the available numbers and colours to achieve this design which I hope you all like. Kalpu (who is a new member here) my brother-in-law's daughter-in-law said - 'Aunty you will make kolam designs with anything that is available' which explains how passionately in love I am with the art.
These are the drawings drawn by me on paper..not imaginative...seen and drawn from internet or any books.these are rough drafts,,i will try any of my favourite drawing on white paper first..then will draw on any medium and colour and gift,,,
