This is actually a very beautiful creation. Very carefully and patiently executed. It gives a nice overall pleasing feeling. The moment I hear the word kozhundu, I always smell the pages of the Deepavali issues of magazines which seemed to be soaked in kunEgA marikozhuMdu! Anybody else smells it? Regards! - mOhana

yes it is called Marukkozhundhu.Trichi kadambam is famous for it.Olden days the weekly Tamil magazine Kumudam used to come with that fragrance. i can still remember the smell.( Lata in Tamil Kumudam means Lily flower... I vaguely remember you mentioning about lily kolams?) Madhuharini, you have done an excellent work by using the thamboolam materiels(Vethalai,pazham poovu, manjal kunkumambox and colorful bangles) given to Sumangalis.

I thought of Thiruvadhirai too, but then thought madam must be talking about something different. Thank you for the clarification. :)
