In my school days we had kolam competition in schools and decoration of the class rooms with coloured paper flowers strewn beautifully in different designs.
Preparations would start a month earlier.We thronged the school at 6 A. M. and 2 hrs were allotted for drawing kolam.The classroom well decorated received a prize worth rs 25/-That was a huge amount in 1950s.I used to keep the plan drawing in my house, which was 2kms away from school.It was a thrill each Independence day to watch girls participate with much enthusism.Since Srirangam girls were adept in drawing kolam, it was a visual feast.When I was in 6th Form( S. S. L. C) our class won the first prize for 'gitopadesham kolam with Krishna, Arjuna on a chariot with horses.It was a strenuous practice for nearly two months allotting each girl with various aspects like chariot, wheels, lord krishna Arjuna and Hanuman on the flag.Practice sessions were conducted in our backyard in the cemented cow shed,Amma used to give bhakshanam to all the girls.Still after 60 long years that kolam stands before my eyes.Unfortunately we had no camera during those days.
