Padikolam || Arumugathom || Kantha Shasti Kolam

A kolam devotedly created for Lord Murugan. The cardinal Six nexus to Lord Murugan in all aspects and I had a mind to incorporate Six in the kolam.

A précis of Lord Murugan's Birth. According to Puranas he was born by the sparks from the third eye of Lord Shiva. The 6 fire balls were placed on 6 Lotus flowers in 6 ponds, later nurtured by 6 Stars of Vishaka constellation and 6 babies were unified into one by Goddess Parvathy. That's the linkage of the numeral to the Tamil God.

So, now to the kolam, I trust it is discernible in my creation

The #kaarthigaicelebration in @kolamenthusiasts paved the way for this kolam as the theme was triangle. Yet the triangle turned into infinitesimal element as against to the kolam.
