4. Last but not least - Kalasa Kolam I put yesterday for Varalakshmi Vridha. It
was a two in one kolam because it is Amman Temple festival week in my area and
yesterday was 108 Paal Kudam (milk pot) day. 108 women will carry a pot of milk
decorated with neem leaves, smeared with saffron on their head from a given point
and come to the temple in a procession with the traditional urumi mela thaalam
(traditional instrument).. Interlaced/inbetween dots (Purni style) 1, 2, 3 then
continued by straignt dots 5, 9, 9, 7, 5, 7, 9, 11, 11, 9, 7, 5 - Purni waiting
