Ishwarya Kolam

Ishwarya Kolam

Kolam or rangoli are designs or patterns drawn in India in the front yard of the house or inside the pooja room. They are an integral part almost in every household. They are considered both auspicious and also used as decorative aspect during festivals or every day. For every day, a simple kolam is drawn but during festivals large kolams are drawn. They are drawn using dots (pulli or chukke) and then interconnecting those dots to make a beautiful pattern. They are mostly logical in design.

It is a welcome symbol and also a tradition that is followed since ages in India.

Ishwarya kolam is a kolam or rangoli drawn on Fridays in the pooja room. It is considered as auspicious to draw this kolam in the pooja room. Ensure that you do not draw it on your front yard because it is sacred and people should restrain from stamping it. You could draw it rice flour (arasi maavu or akki ittu) if you are comfortable drawing using it. Or else you could use a white chalk piece to draw this kolam. Here, I have drawn it on a paper using a sketch pen.
