Sikku Kolam -18
A small and simple sikku kolam with 5x3-3 straight dots. This is one of my favourite kolams. I have added lotus flowers on the outer layer for enhancement and with sikku borders at the entrance.

Place the Dots
Sprinkle a few drops of water to clean the floor. Put down 5x3 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!
