Paisley's Kolam
This kolam again at my mom's place. With my favorite (don't know whether its my favorite but I always start with this design, don't know why???) design at the centre and tried to extend with Paisley's.
This kolam again at my mom's place. With my favorite (don't know whether its my favorite but I always start with this design, don't know why???) design at the centre and tried to extend with Paisley's to differentiate from the previous ones:-0 I was satisfied with the final design...
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!
