How to draw it
- Sweep the floor and clean it.
- Mark the centre point and draw thin circles around it.
- Draw the petals out from the outer circle. If you draw opposite petals in pairs, the size comes out right.
- Fill each layer with coloured powder or flower petals.
- Last, finish the centre and the dots along the edge.
These kolams are not copies of old pictures. They are drawn on this site by following the usual rules for drawing a kolam. The names are only there to help you tell them apart. The way people draw kolams differs from family to family and from place to place.
