What is Kolam?

Kolam is a form of design or pattern drawn with rice flour on the floor with bare fingers using predetermined dots. The dots are either connected together to make a pattern or loops are drawn encircling the dots to complete a motif. A kolam looks more or less like a sand painting on the floor.

iKolam.com has a large repository of kolams, rangolis and other related items. All of my work is collected under Kolam and Rangoli collection. We also have a large collection of kolams contributed by our members. They are categorized by member under Gallery.

We do require registration before you can enjoy all the benefits of this site. Here are a small set of kolams from my collection which any one can easily draw. You can find them here: Beginner level kolams.
