A special maa kolam for tamil new year. The kolam is scratched for food at some places by the squirrel and its kids, which has a roost in our coconut tree. I tried to hide a part of the scratch, but could not hide small ones.

Inspired by Rajamma aunty's "ezhai kolam", I tried a small version of it, with some modifications on the special day of Sri Rama navami.
What about padikkolam? Add your comments. Usually this type of rangolis are put on occasional days. You can expand it as large as you like.
i tried this after seeing the rangoli in our members gallery or in flickr photo kolam tags i could not confirm, [sorry if it belongs to any of our esteemed members].
This is my first try, so I begin with "mangalagaram". Some of you may know the lines "kana mayilada kandirundha vankozhi". Do you like this? If it is so, I will sent like this type of kolams. This is the warning, wake up!
On the occasion of Rama navami, this is a simple welcome kolam on the portals of our home, with "arisi maa".
After seeing mOhanaji's computer Padikolam, I was tempted to put one more such kolam...
It is fresh... not even dried fully!
This was drawn (in a hurry)on Kaaradayaan Nonbu (Savithri nonbu) day before pooja time.
This is a computer aided paDi kOlam. Please comment.

My sister-in-law, again a Jaya, is also a good kolam maker, her speciality being double-kolams considered sacred for Poojas and marriages. Her kolams are very traditional and she expands them in no time, with ease!
