Drawing a line kolam is much easier than a sikku kolam. The dots are connected to form a figure which is repetitive on opposite sides and the adjoining extra dots are joined together for another new element. I'm comfortable in drawing sikku kolams rather than line kolams.
This kolam has a 15x5-5 dot count. The main element stars with the hearts done in chalk piece.
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.
