This rangoli on a Chennai street is so simple, fresh and joyous. Reminds me of my earliest fascination for colours as a preschooler :-)

This design is challenging for a beginner :-)

This kolam is made in chalk and geru (red earth).

Why we make kolam rangoli?
Kolam is a great line drawing made daily in front of South Indian homes. Making a new kolam everyday is a wonderful creative endeavour. A kolam is to welcome the good energies into one’s home and life. A kolam is amde using one or more of the following:
Rice flour, chalk, rangoli powder, red earth (geru), yellow earth (ramraj), poster, acryllic or enamel paints.
