I had written about Kolam earlier. Tamil women are adept at making kolam (which is usually drawn on the floor at the entrance to the house). It could be a small one on regular days and larger colored ones on auspicious days. I had earlier written (http://Calmisc.blogspot.com/2011/01/margazhi-kolam.html) about it.
Today I saw an article on kolam.
This practice and this art is unfortunately fast becoming obsolete in the city. in villages it is still common to see women clean the area outside the house and draw a nice kolam twice a day.
I reproduce here the picture of a kolam that Cashew, a friend of mine, made.
