Padi Kolam - Karthikai Deepam Special!

Namaste Everyone!

Today I am sharing Maa Kolam or wet rice flour kolam which is traditionally drawn for Karthikai Deepam. One of the important festival celebrated in South India. This year Annamalai Deepam and Sarvalaya Deepam falls on the same day. 

Wet Rice Flour Kolam we need to soak raw rice for atleast 1 hr and grind it to a fine paste. We can sprinkle little water and grind so that it becomes a smooth paste. Add little water and with a small cotton cloth dip in the wet rice flour and start drawing your kolam.

Maa Kolam is a traditional kolam drawn for any occasion or festivals like Karthikai Deepam, Deepavali, Pongal etc..
For Karthikai Deepam once the maa Kolam is dried we lamp or light deepam in the kolam.
I hope you all like my Maa Kolam.
