This rangolikolamis made of floral motifs. The purple, pink and green is giving brilliance, whereas the center is done with turmeric. The brown and other earthly tones suggest the source and start of the art. This can be drawn in front of our house in spring time and summer. Even during festival these kinds of kolam or rangoli can be seen in front of many houses in south India. This art is not given the importance it deserves.
Like other folk arts of India which is getting famous in other countries, this should also become known to all. It’s the best way to create puzzles and solving it.
