Rangoli kolam


janmashtami kolam

Rangoli kolam

 Krishna or kannan in Tamil is one god who is famous among girls. There are many poems written by popular female devotees of Krishna. He is one of my favourite character from hindu literature. The power and confidence radiating from him is astonishing. His love was Radha.

This kolam design shows Kannan and Radha sitting in a ratham or royal vehicle of olden days. Bows can be seen in the ratham symbolizing the bravery of lord Krishna. They look as if they are in motion. The horses are frozen in time in running phase. The creepers, leaf, parrot and pathway show the garden setting in which they are usually seen in many of the paintings depicting their love.

Colored in bright shades this rangoli looks very lively. This shows all aspects of Radha and Krishna's life. It comes under the category of festival kolam, janmashtami, Krishna jayanthi, Rangoli and other kolam. It is drawn with the help of dots.
