Sikku Kolam - 29
An easy kolam though may look difficult. It has many individual strands mostly rectangle shapes and its easy to draw without any hassles. I tried to give an uplift to this simple kolam but that gave.
An easy kolam though may look difficult. It has many individual strands mostly rectangle shapes and its easy to draw without any hassles. I tried to give an uplift to this simple kolam but that gave a reverse effect. Dot count: 13x5-12-7x2-5 in a straight pattern.
I'm planning to draw this kolam again and upload in this page.
Place the Dots
Sprinkle a few drops of water to clean the floor. Put down 13x5 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!
