Heart Kolam
The heart shape and the small green colour triangle reminds me of a candy which I had when I was in primary school. My school canteen had a wide range of candies in different shapes.
The heart shape and the small green colour triangle reminds me of a candy which I had when I was in primary school. My school canteen had a wide range of candies in different shapes. I was fascinated with the shape of the candies, which were molded into fish, apple, orange, still I could recollect the Candy smell. Nostalgic. This is a 15-1 dot count kolam with hearts and pin wheels.
Place the Dots
Sprinkle a few drops of water to clean the floor. Put down the 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!
