This kolam rangoli uses a flower and fish design and fresh marigold flowers.

Conch shells in the center, surrounded by a a round of flowers, and finished off with immaculate elephants. This kolam is from Chennai.

This beautiful rangoli made from dry coloured rangoli powders and flowers is from a Rangoli competition in a Chennai street.

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