About Kolam

In our tranditional, Every day morning in tamil nadu, the women are daily made a kolam in front of  home. A kolam made with rice flour and kaavi border (powder of bricks).

Every morning before sunrise, the floor of the house is cleaned by water or cow dung. Then the kolams are generally drawn in centre of the home. The rice flour also invites the ants, other birds and small creatures to eat it.

A kolams are drawn in different methods and different patterns.

  •       Dried rice flour and natural or synthetic colour powder.
  •       Chalk and colour powder are used in kolam.
  •      Rock salt are used to decorate the kolam, that is rangoli form. 
  •      Rice paste are used in pooja room. That are mainly used in important functions.
