Most of the elements in this rangOli are from the toolkit! The only new ones are the flowers on all the four corners especially created for this and the central ashTadaLa padma. Regards! - mOhana

This is a padi kolam put specifically for karthikai.
Corners done like lamps..
Kolam made with wet arisimaavu(izhai kolam)
Padi kolam in chalk... copy from rajamma ammas gallery...I love this design.
Used rice flour and red powder for the border. I made this kolam using kola kuzhai and this kolam is my own imagination.
This is the Padi kolam I drew for Tamil new year. Here in US we don't get kolapodi so I managed to draw it with little kolapodi and arisi maavu.
A special maa kolam for tamil new year. The kolam is scratched for food at some places by the squirrel and its kids, which has a roost in our coconut tree. I tried to hide a part of the scratch, but could not hide small ones.
What about padikkolam? Add your comments. Usually this type of rangolis are put on occasional days. You can expand it as large as you like.
