A simple yet colorful Kolam
Though I couldn’t
consider this as a RGB post, because of missing of the red and blue in the Kolam
drew by mom on the night of New Year Eve, I continue to post here as I think there
couldn’t be an apt time rather posting now. Because it was a colourful invite for
a New Year.
For those
unknown, Kolam or Rangoli is a pattern drawn (in different forms) in front of
the houses, which is a traditional custom followed by the people of India esp.
the Kolam is a cultural identity of Tamil people and drawing colorful Kolam in
front of the home is considered as auspicious and a sign of welcome during the
festival seasons and events.
We were awake
till 1.30 am doing nothing but just leaving few fireworks and being outside as
our street was little busy with some local boys having little party at the
street end and residents were checking the couple of Ganesh temples on our
streets that went into light decorations for the New Year. It wasn’t a bad eve
for me watching these and looking at the couple of colourful kolams of residents
on my way to uncle’s house in next street. But I felt bad for not taking the
mobile or camera along to capture the pretty Kolams, at least to use for my RGB
post. Hope you all had wonderful Eve
Those interested
can link-in their post at comment, even if u has a New Year post unrelated to
RGB… Just to share the moment with each other :)

Happy New Year 2107 to you Jeevan and family.
The kolam is very vibrant and neat with happy motifs.
Your mum is so talented to be able to draw them so neatly in such a big size.
Nice kolam, you could have asked her to include blue colour also. Happy new year to you and your family :)

Really superb kolam. whatever the colour is, it is good!. Because it is our traditional one. It gives pleasant look in the entrance of everyone's house and silently it is welcoming all.
What a lovely Kolam.
