Karthigai month starts today in the Tamil calendar and for us, the Kolam Enthusiasts have the luxury of placing lamps in/on the kolams.
Placing lamps on kolams isn't advisable as it has a deep connection to spirituality as per the Hindu faith and Karthigai Month gets the exemption.
The task kolam with 15-8 dots with a single 6-pointed star in devotion to Lord Muruga and lamps for @kolamenthusiasts #kolamenthusiastskarthigaikondattam, yet mine had been famished by gobbling two dots shrunk to 13-7.
Purify Doorstep with Turmeric Water
Wash the doorstep or puja threshold clean with auspicious turmeric water. Mark straight horizontal baseline bounds along the step edges with chalk or rice paste.
Pull Synchronous Double White Lines
Dip index and middle fingers simultaneously into wet rice paste (Maa Kolam). Pull straight, parallel twin lines across the threshold without lifting your hand.
Construct Rectilinear Stepped Frames
Draw concentric square frames, stepped terraces, and sharp 90-degree corner junctions. Position a sacred lotus (Kamalam) or 8-pointed star in the center.
Border with Vibrant Red Kaavi
Fill the interior margins and perimeter boundary with deep red Kaavi (geru ochre). The red-and-white contrast creates an auspicious energetic barrier against negativity.
