Rangoli in White -8
A freehand kolamn done on spur of the moment. Started with a simple pinwheel design and extended the design in my way. Though I was out of my way in drawing the last layer which has shown its presence.

Though I was out of my way in drawing the last layer which has shown its presence in the final output. One of my favourite kolams, Should I say??? Well, the centre part creates the magic which is supposed to do its part on the whole. Drawing kolams with white rangoli powder always weave a magical mantra, I like to keep it subtle in white without adding colours and especially the round freehand aka mandala style kolams.
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.
