    these are not padi kolams...just few that i drew for krishnajayanti inside my house...drew few more (similar small ones) but forgot to take a snap...this is the first krishnajayanti for which i drew kolams both inside and outside my house...my MIL was very happy with my kolams and hence she gave charge to me...hehehe

    the 4th one was the place where we kept Load Krishna's idol...

    and the 5th is at the entrance...and my DD helped me by keeping her first print...:)...she dint allow further as the rice flour mix was sticky..hehehe


    Just wanted to share with you all...waiting for your C&C

    Super Swaran. You improved a lot. Excellent creativity. Neat work. Try to learn 2 izhai. It will minimize time.
    You can put even big kolam with 2 izhais and very fast too

    thanks a lot priyasaki for your sweet compliments :)

    thanks a lot anisu :-D...glad you liked it :)
    Padi kolams are basically traditional kolams that are drawn on special occassions... the kolam will be drawn with only lines(straight/curved).. most of the brahmins in tamilnadu used to draw this type of rangoli... famous in TN
    Basically drawn only using rice flour and kavi(red colour powder)...
    they can also be called as kanya/kalyana kolams....but these are little big ones...
    Padi kolams can also be small...we draw small padi kolams on fridays...
    Hope i have explained to some extent :)
