"வாருங்கள் தேரை இழுப்போம்" Come lets pull the Chariot, that's how we #kolamenthusiasts invite others to draw kolams on Ratha Saptami and this year it is celebrated on 7th February. This day is belived to be the Birthday of God Sun.. The Sun God changes his direction of journey towards North-East riding on one wheeled chariot powered by 7 horses. So kolams drawn for ratha saptami have one wheel only.. A simple and small sikku kolam apt to draw at pooja room or at entrance.
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.
