Sikku kolam -21 with 27 Dots
A sikku kolam with 27 Dots, the highest dot count I have ever tried. Gargantuan to me. I haven't tried kolam with more than 11 dots, but in this vacation I ventured into interlaced and highest numb.
A sikku kolam with 27 Dots, the highest dot count I have ever tried. Gargantuan to me. I haven't tried kolam with more than 11 dots, but in this vacation I ventured into interlaced and highest number dots kolam. And I'm happy that I executed with ease. It was a windy day and the powder was merrily singing in sync with the breeze without minding my instructions. By the time I took the photo, the neighbour's farm animals made a ramp walk across imprinting their footsteps on my kolam. Nothing stopped me from drawing kolams.
Place the Dots
Sprinkle a few drops of water to clean the floor. Put down 27-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!
