Flower rangoli kolam 


Floral design goes naturally with exteriors. Flowers are most colorful and beautiful part of plants. Many plants are grown just for their flowers. These flowers are used to decorate rangoli or kolam in many areas of our country. Flowers are also used as accessories by woman and a sign of respect in temples.


This kolam or rangoli as you can see uses floral motifs. It is drawn using dots as the guidance. These dots are first placed and then the pattern is drawn over it. This like solving a puzzle and is meant to help problem solving in ladies. That is another reason the kolam or rangoli should be given importance.


The overall shape of the kolam is a star. Three petaled flowers taking the places of the vertex of the star. In the center we can see a wheel with five motifs between the bars. Surrounded by six set of pair of a fully open rose and a rose bud. The design is not simple but is harmonious and balanced. The dots circled in the design completes the design nicely.
