This Kolam or rangoli design consists of deepam and flowers. If you read the previous posts, you'll know that deepam means Lamps made of clay which looks somewhat like a bowl with 'v' shaped extention on one side. These are mostly used in India as a decoration cum lighting for big functions.
To me the design looks a bit Chinese because of the colors i think. Especially the pink shades in it. In the center of the design is a star shaped flower with round petals. The petals have a diamond shaped extension. There is an hexagonal outline. In between which we can see jalli like floral motifs. Deepams on the vertex of the hexagon faces inwards. Diamond shaped extension exceed farther into another diamond shape. This has a flower in the further end.
There is a wonderful movement of eye in the design giving it perfect rhythm. There is formal balance in this design. It comes under the category of deepam kolam, diwali kolam, festival kolam, karthigai deepam kolam, rangoli and other kolam.
