Butterfly Kolam -2
Another version of 13x13 dot count. The kolam with the sikku strand as the border with four butterflies on the corners and a bigger one in the centre. I have used three colours, I bet the third colour.
Another version of 13x13 dot count. The kolam with the sikku strand as the border with four butterflies on the corners and a bigger one in the centre. I have used three colours, I bet the third colour is invisible for normal eyes except to me. Its the green colour. I feel the shape of butterfly in the centre looks bit odd, Is it so?
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.
