CURATOR'S NOTES & TECHNIQUE
A simple 11 dots kolam.
Follow these 4 simple steps to draw 11 Dots Sikku kolam Brahamamudi Kolam Daily Kolams on your floor or paper.
Beginner-Friendly Method1
PULLI (DOTS)
Place the Dots
Sprinkle a few drops of water to clean the floor. Put down 11-Dot dots in straight, even spacing using white rice powder or chalk.
2
CENTER LOOP
Start from the Center
Find the middle dot. Draw the center loop, star knot, or flower petal first. Starting in the center keeps the pattern perfectly balanced on all sides.
3
SIKKU (CURVES)
Loop Around the Outer Dots
Pinch the rice flour between your thumb and forefinger. Guide the line smoothly around the dots in one continuous motion without lifting your fingers.
4
KAAVI & LAMPS
Add Red Border or Lamps
Outline the edges with traditional red Kaavi powder, or place glowing terracotta agal vilakku (oil lamps) at the corners to make your Kolam radiant!
Beginner Tip for Smooth Drawing:Use coarse dry rice flour (Arisi Maavu) for easy powder flow. For festive days, you can also place oil lamps or fill flower petals into the loops.
