The REAL KOLAM 😊 l feel, I am unleashed from all constraints when I draw kolams on real floor. During visits to my Parents home, I eagerly look forward for the early mornings to reignite my passion of drawing kolams on #floor.😊 And this is the first kolam at my parents' home for this season.
Drawing kolams in a traditional posture demands lot of energy and this kolam was to test the waters😊. With full pep, stepped down the entrance to draw a kolam with kolapodi.
The soothing morning breeze was indeed chill because of the moist easterly winds which nudged a goal-kick for a bigger kolam yet my vertigo pulled back my intention and had to settle down with two decked small kolam in 10 minutes.
Had to search for symmetry in this kolam and at times geometrical irregularity do have its own beauty
Sketch the Central Focal Contour
Clean and dampen the floor. With light chalk or a thin stream of white rice flour, sketch the primary central motif (such as a blooming lotus, royal peacock, or sacred oil lamp).
Sweep Concentric Petals Outward
Radiate curving petals, mango paisleys, or flowing floral flourishes outwards from the center, maintaining uniform distance across all quadrants.
Blend Vibrant Natural Powders
Fill the petals and interior sections with rich festive colored powders or dyed rice grains, blending smoothly from deep shades at the base to bright tones at the tips.
Define Crisp Edges & Corner Lamps
Outline all boundaries with a bold, steady line of pure white rice flour to give the colors radiant contrast. Place brass or earthen oil lamps at the perimeter points.
