This is one of my favourite kolams with has both chikku and poo kolam combined.... i have given different colours for the connecting lines respectively and i am sure this will make it easy for people who are learning to draw kolams.
Rajamma - this is based on your advise... thanks for giving me this idea because many times i used to get confused while drawing these chikku kolams on the continuity of lines etc,here is an easy way out...

This is floral decoration done by my mother for Pondicherry Mother Mira's birthday which happens to be on 21st February. It is symbolic to arrange all varieties of flowers in front of her picture.

Normally flowers have only five petals. This has something to do with growth
and related to the hEmachandra-Fibonacci series I spoke about recently. But
thogh rare, there are a few six petalled flowers. One such flower is a sparkling
blue flower. Two arrangements with it are shown. Find the difference between
the two, if possible. When we draw rangOlis with dots, the symmetry is perfect
if the dots are placed properly. But in nature, even if there is six-fold
symmetry it is only approximate and any arrangement with such a flower is also
approximate. That is why the contacts in these pictures are not perfect. The
search for perfection is always through symmetry. That is why the artists in
Islam used symmetric patterns in their mosques to search for the perfect.
