Bluish Blue
This is a interlaced dot pattern kolam. I have used two shades of blue colour which I managed to pack in my bags from India. I have tried to give a different look by shading and adding some triang.
This is a interlaced dot pattern kolam. I have used two shades of blue colour which I managed to pack in my bags from India. I have tried to give a different look by shading and adding some triangles into the kolam. Lovely shades of blue. I see some stick flag shapes in the centre with two petaled flowers bordering it. I hope so. Dot count: 9 -5 Interlaced.
Trace Concentric Guidelines on the Floor
Anchor a piece of thread at your center point and lightly trace 3 to 5 concentric circular guidelines with faint chalk on the clean floor.
Place the Central Core Flower
Position a magnificent whole lotus blossom or a tight, dense rosette of vibrant yellow marigold petals at the very center as the visual anchor.
Layer Concentric Petal Rings Outward
Fill each concentric ring with contrasting fresh petals (orange marigold, pink rose, purple orchids, and white jasmine), packing petals closely for a rich velvety texture.
Crown Perimeter with Oil Lamps
Surround the outer floral rim with dark green mango leaves or bilva leaves. Place glowing brass or terracotta oil lamps (agal vilakku) at cardinal compass points.
