Beautiful! My guess; coarse rava (cream of wheat), or, coarsely ground rice (the kind we use for upma). :)

Very beautiful. Is it with dessicated coconut or dried coconut scrapings?

Rajamma mam, Your kolam looks very nice. I believe you might have made this kolam either using rava or rice rava or rice kurunai. Mahalakshmi

Perfect copy cat kolam... I guess the medium used is fresh cocunut scrappings.

Nice reproduction. The medium used is crystal salt. Am I correct?

I am so stunned looking at this one Rajam - only couple of days I saw the original and here is its almost identical twin - absolutely wonderful creation - HATS OFF !!

The designer of any rangOli is always happy when someone tries to recreate it. Otherwise, it will be nicely slotted and will become part of a gallery that is occasionally visited. Here is Mrs rAjammA who lovingly brought life to my theory. I am grateful to her and am deeply indebted. With sincere regards! - mOhana

I think the medium must be crushed pearl sago. Regards! - mOhana

Vinci and Jayanthi guessed correctly (partly). Coconut scappings grinded nicely in mixie and after extracting the milk from it, the chakkai was removed and dried . It was powder like and resembles mOhanaji's white computer lines.It is difficult to draw ezhai with that so I just managed to fill it in line to get the same effect like the original. I am thankful to you Mr, mOhanaji for giving new designs and encouraging my copy work (though it is nowhere near the original) . I have NOT used ravai, rice ravai, sugar , crystal salt or crushed pearl sago.... but thanks for the new idea, will try in future. rajamma
