You have already seen how to create the seven type of borders. In south India, the
mango borders are very well liked. Here are all possible borders using a real mango
"cheek" as the basic motif. Saree designers, please get ready!

After the flowers here come the baby mangoes - just like serial lights on the tree...
Some more photos of the flowers on my mango tree...
Just want to share a small incident with you guys since JKM brought up the subject of mangoes.
I used to visit my grandma's house in Cochin when we were ready to return back to Chennai she would go around the yard and collect different plants for me to bring back and plant in my house. 6 yrs ago the day I was leaving for Chennai she came running to me with a small mango seed that had just sprouted with four leaves and told me to plant it in my compound (i have only 5' empty space around my house). I did not want to hurt her so I carefully brought it back with me and just for fun planted it wondering if I would ever get a chance to taste the fruit of this mango tree.. It grew nice and tall in two years time and the third year yielded fruit - sweet fruit.. I was thrilled to bits to eat mango from my very own tree - Ithink it is the "Sendhoora" variety. Now it is 3 years since my grandma died and whenever I see the fruit on this tree I cant help but remember the day she gave me the little sapling.. Had I thrown it away I would not have been the proud owner of my sweet mango tree. I am posting pictures of my mango tree with flowers and fruit just to share this with all of you - especially JKM... JKM hope when you come to Chennai it is mango season and I am able to give you mangoes from my tree...
Who has not eaten mango pieces with mirchi powder sprinkled on them?
After the school or on the marina or at home in summer with the
Bangalore variety, this delicacy brings back to memory my days of
childhood. I still have great admiration for the vendors who used
to cut the pieces almost like a flower bunch! Here are some patterns
with one such mango piece. Regards! - mOhana
Random mango motif that can be used in rangolis, mehndi
designs, etc. Pencil on paper.
it is a designed mango in black and white. I hope you people might like this piece of work.
