Peacock rangoli kolam


"The pride of the peacock is the glory of god" -William Blake


Peacock is India's national bird. they are very beautiful. Their feathers are used as accessory or to enhance elegance in a place. Their feathers are so rich in color and very beautiful that many of us can't stop admiring them. In one point or another in our life we might have liked peacock green and would have chosen it as a favorite color. In my childhood, I used to go to my father's office just to see peacocks which sometimes comes just for a short visit.


This kolam or rangoli design is made of peacock, flower, deepam or lamp motifs put togethr. we can also see butterflies in this design. In the center the deepam's are so arranged that they look like kuthu vizhaku. on either side of the center is peacock motifs. Other designs togther form a diamond shape. The corners of the overall square design is occupied by deepam and butterfly.


There is strict formal balance in the design. Elegance of the design comes from the curved lines in the motif. It comes under the category of bird kolam, peacock kolam, butterfly kolam, flower kolam and deepam kolam.
