The tamil month "Thai" starts mid of jan and ends mid of feb....In sanskrit this month is the "Pousha" or the 'Makara'month'....
All fridays of this month and especially the 'Thai Amavaasai' are considered auspicious for the worship of the Goddess.....
Infact considered equivalent to the "Navratra"...
"Subramanyam" popularly known as "Abhirami Batter" was a Hindu saint from a town called "Thirukadavur" in Tamilnadu....
He was drawn to the Thirukadavur temple and Goddess Abhirami....Most of the time he would forget himself and be completely immersed in the dhyaana of the Goddess....
Once when he was sitting in the temple forgetting himself and his surroundings, the Serfoji king came to the temple and asked him what that day's "thithi" was.....
Though it was a new moon day(Amaavaasya), Subramanyam, thinking of the Goddess told the king that it was Pournami.....
As he was an expert in Tamil literature, he started singing songs in tamil praising the Goddess...
This work is popularly called "Abhirami Anthadhi"........
He prayed to the Goddess for the moon to appear....
When he finished singing the 79th song, the Goddess appeared out of the sacrficial fire removed one of her earrings (Thaatankams) and threw it out into the sky, which became a huge full moon... thus changed an Amaavaasya day to Pournami....
The king fell at Subramanyam's feet asked for forgiveness.....
This happened on a "Thai" Amaavaasya'.....
This year, 2023, "Thai Amaavaasya" was on Jan 21st....
The Rangoli depicts:
-The sacrificial Fire,
-A Picture of Goddess Abhirami,
-The garland,
-One of Her Thaatankams,
-The Full Moon, and
-The Tamil phrase that says
"Out of nowhere came a beautiful moon in space."

This rangoli is a depiction of:-"Thiruppugazh" the tamil sacred text on Lord Subramanya is like fire which will destroy people who try to harm His devotees.... Just added the Peacock, as it is the Lord's transport and the Spear which is His weapon...The Tamil writing is the transliteration of the word "Thiruppugazh"...
Meaning of the Thiruppugazh song Sinattavar Mudikkum" (First Half) :
To the hotheads who are angry with your devotees....To the familes of those who oppose your devotees...To the lives of those who destroy your devotees....To those who with rage do things that show lack of respect for your devotees....To those who abuse your devotees....Songs of the "Glory of the Lord"(THIRUPPUGAZH) destroy them like fire.....These songs grant your devotees all their wishes, melts the minds of the singers and listeners, grants freedom from the cycle of births and deaths...These songs are capable of burning even the fire itself and can even demolish mountains into bits and pieces.....Oh Lord, You have to grant us the ablility to sing such songs which are full of your praise and glory....
