The one on the right-bottom looks like two girls kneeling down on the floor (facing each other). Reminds me of the two girls from wedding invitations from back in the day (the ladies in the image on the invitation could be seen holding lamps in their hands, seen at the bottom of both sides of an invitation front-page). Nice hexagonal dotted kolam on the far right. :)

Nice work! To me the bottom left is quite interesting. With this pattern of dots most patterns will have more than one line. Doing with a single line is commendable. Actually, latAjI, I am looking for a picture like that with a dancer kneeling in namaskAram pose for a long time. Periodically I search the internet, to no avail. Regards! - mOhana

Here are 3 of my favorite dotted kolams, all done with one continuous line: Kuththuvilakku dotted kolam : http://www.ikolam.com/node/166 http://www.ikolam.com/node/209 http://www.ikolam.com/node/153 A few years ago, the first one (an un-animated and unprotected image with darker stroke) was plagiarized and used by a popular tamil magazine. After fighting with a few more sites (3 more images), we figured out a way to add some protection. :) Regarding the picture of the kneeling dancer, I'll go through my old collection of cards, and see if I can find one. I know our members (residing in India) can find one faster. :)

latAjI, the second one somehow doesn't load. Yes, the first one IS remarkable. Regards! - mOhana
