Margazhi Kolam || 17 dots Sikku Kolam || tippudi Muggulu
Every day a new page is created to pen down the dawn, lessons beyond syllabus are put in for test and new theories hammer you down inculcating the basic ethics of life, in spite of above embrace life.
Every day a new page is created to pen down the dawn, lessons beyond syllabus are put in for test and new theories hammer you down inculcating the basic ethics of life, in spite of above embrace life affectionately as everthing in this world is ephemeral so as the kolam.
Have a good start and end of the year is just a myth 😛
Place the Dots
Sprinkle a few drops of water to clean the floor. Put down 17-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!
