A 13-1 dot count kolam with hearts. A bold and bright colours used in this kolam. The colours used in this kolam were bought in Trichy, opposite to Malaikottai. It was getting late for us to finish our shopping, still I was eyeing to buy the colours.
Thankfully my Sister-in-law started the topic of buying colours and her daughter got into action. If not I would got scorched by R's sight. He was whining about my big package of colours which were already into my baggage.
The colours were bright and charming, didn't have second thoughts of leaving them back at home. Tried my level best to pack everything.
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.
