Kolams and Rangolis for all occasions!
Padi Kolam - Aadi Special!
Today is Aadi Velli (Friday), I am happy to share my simple Padi Kolam with maa kolam / wet rice flour..... maa kolam is very auspicious to draw during festival's in South India. You can draw Padi Kolam or freehand designs with maa kolam and a touch of kaavi is must.
Maa kolam is prepared.... with rice soaked for atleast / minimum of 1 hr.... and grinded in mixie to form a very smooth paste.... you can add little water while grinding. While putting kolam or rangoli can add little water accordingly.
I hope you all like it!

Freehand Maa Kolam!
Today being an Aadi Chevai (Tuesday), I am sharing a Maa Kolam or wet rice flour kolam or rangoli. This rangoli is drawn with 8 striped to form a circle, then you can create curves, motif or lines, dots to extend your imagination. I have given a touch of kaavi or red colour, which is very important for any maa kolam.
This is very simple rangoli, which can be drawn on Chinna Vasal or small entrance or for an apartment.
Hope you all like it!

Padi Kolam - Aadi Pandigai Special!
Padi Kolam is one of the most important thing for any function in Iyer or Iyengar tradition. Today being a Aadi Velli, I am sharing a Maa Kolam (wet rice flour)... which is generally drawn for small functions such as Sumangali Prathanai, Aadi Velli, Aadi Chevai, Aadi Pooram, Deepavali, Navaratri etc....
We draw this kolam with four lines, to make it a square...and expand the kolam with our creative ideas such as lotus motif, or curves, dots. We also draw Kaavi as borders.
Hope you all like it!
