    We generally use only Rice Flour to draw Kolams in Pooja Room. Limestone, etc.. are not allowed. Here are some kolams that are used on a regular basis.

    1. Ishwarya kolam (will upload later)
    2. Hridayakamala kolam
    Below, I have mentioned how this has to be drawn. This is for prosperity (Goddess Lakshmi).

    Excellent kolam! i once drew a chariot kolam which was similar to this but half way I did it wrong and I had to erase the whole kolam. But if we can actually succesfully finish drawing a kolam, i assume it is something to be proud of.

    hi Krishnaamma,
    In some places like Trichy, Coimbatore even if a persons name is know, they are addressed as their childs father or mother eg: Vaishuamma (Vaishu's mother) Sanjuappa (Sanju's father) etc. I guess your name is also like that...Krishna's mother! :)

    Take care...
    Kaushalya R K
