A 11 dots kolam for today's theme in @kolamenthusiasts
A simple kolam with lines interwoven in harmony for a smooth cruise 😊 And an extra dot which was aloof from the clan had to be looped so added a line and swirled at the ends. That was the start of numinous presence which should have emanated the elements contouring perfectly within the kolam.
And finally the swirls turned into peacocks and Velavan's Vels.

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.
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!
