Happy Tamil New Year....
இந்த ஜெய வருடம் உங்களுக்கு ஜெயமாக அமைய மனமார்ந்த வாழ்த்துக்கள்.
My maiden effort in sanskar bharathi style rangoli. I never attempted and always had a hesitation as the design has to be drawn on the sprinkled colours. While drawing my hand was shaky and at most lost my confidence while drawing the petals in the fourth circle. Hopefully I can do with more confidence in my next attempt. The only draw back of drawing a SB rangoli here is that my carton box has a message for me "Colours out of Stock". Looking forward for this summer vacation to try SB kolams at my mom's home.
Place the Dots
Sprinkle a few drops of water to clean the floor. Put down Freehand dots in straight, even spacing using white rice powder or chalk.
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.
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.
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!
