For Navrathri, today being friday I tried this maakkolam on the white tile floor, thinking of
Sowmya. While drawing, the wet ezhai is not visible hence some omissions and comissions are there.Hats off to Sowmya's perfection.
Padi Kolam
- wet maavu padikkolam
- Inspiration kolam
- Red and white Padikolam
- Ramanavami Kolam
Mahalakshmi's recent Akshaya thithi kolam was so cute and I tried a similar one on my green granite base. I could not the same due to space restrictions. Enjoying the greenery in front and the morning sun light with the Bangalore cool climate, it was fun making this kolam
We put padikolam on all auspecious days. Today is Kaaradayaan nonbu. It is celebrated at the time of Tamil months Maasi and Panguni meet. It is called Savithri nonbu, since on this day Sathi Savithri fought back her husband Sathyavaan's life from Yamadharma Raja.
So ladies keep vruth and tie a yellow thread in the neck and make sweet and kaara Adai for prasad. .
So it is a simple Padikolam drawn today before pooja with wet maavu and red( Arakku) color powder.
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.
