"வாருங்கள் தேரை இழுப்போம்" Come lets pull the Chariot, that's how we #kolamenthusiasts invite others to draw kolams on Ratha Saptami and this year it is celebrated on 7th February. This day is belived to be the Birthday of God Sun.. The Sun God changes his direction of journey towards North-East riding on one wheeled chariot powered by 7 horses. So kolams drawn for ratha saptami have one wheel only.. A simple and small sikku kolam apt to draw at pooja room or at entrance.
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!
