Flower Kolam
Due to space constraint, I needed to squeeze the kolam to fit into the gap at my door step. Though the other end of the floor wasn't user friendly with the chalk piece. Still, managed my level bes.
Due to space constraint, I needed to squeeze the kolam to fit into the gap at my door step. Though the other end of the floor wasn't user friendly with the chalk piece. Still, managed my level best. This kolam shows that I wasn't in a good mood while drawing. This was done long back couldn't remember what was going on my mind while drawing this kolam. I have used yellow and red colours for shading.

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.
