We all light deepam during Karthikai Month in the evening. I am sharing an easy Maa kolam or wet rice flour rangoli decorated with diyas.

In Thiruvanamalai ( a district in Tamil Nadu) this Karthikai Deepam is celebrated for 10 days...with 'Panchamurthi Procession' which means ( in different Vahanas Panchamurthigal procession at Kalyana Mandapam in the 'Arunachaleshwara Temple's).

Punchamurthigal means 5 God's:
Lord Arunachaleshwara( Shiva), Goddess Parvathi, Lord Ganesha, Lord Murugan and Lord Sandeswara. 

On the first day Panchamurthigal procession with Deepa-aradhana is done at the Kalyana Mandapam. ( In Arunachaleshwara Temple).

Namaste!
As we all know Karthikai Month starts from (mid November - mid December), we light deepam or diya in front of our house. 

Today I am sharing an easy dots kolam which can be drawn on a chinna vasal or small place even in an apartment. 

We can call this as vasapadi kolam, or it can be drawn on mana palagai or on a wooden plank.
I hope you all like it!

Freehand Maa Kolam - Karthikai Deepam Special!

Today I am sharing a maa kolam or wet rice flour kolam, which can be drawn in a small place or chinna vasal. A freehand rangoli in vasal padi.

This Karthikai Masam starts from (Nov mid - Dec mid). In South India this is one of the auspicious month.... during evening we light diyas in front of our house to welcome Goddess Lakshmi ( Goddess of wealth and prosperity).

In Tamil Nadu we celebrate Karthikai Deepam as Tiruvannamalai Deepam and Sarvalaya Deepam.
We draw Maa Kolam and use kaavi. We can draw padi kolam or freehand rangoli and decorate diyas in rangoli.
I hope you all like my rangoli!
