This photo of the kolam was taken at the AnnualDay Function of THE STATE BANK LADIES CLUB, KOYEMBEDU, CHENNAI in this year 2008. I participated in the Rangoli Competition, and got the first prize for the same. First it was drawn on the floor by a piece of chalk. Then it was filled with colour rangoli powder, mixed with pure-white rangoli powder. With the help of a single match-stick designs were drawn on the spread-out coloured rangoli powder. Then decorated with some glittering powders, and small pieces of mirror like metal pieces. I felt so happy in getting the prize in front of all the members of the club / all my friends.
I'm proud to mention the name of the Judge. Mrs.Revati Shanmugam, daughter of Thiru. Kaviarasu Kannadasan.

Sasikala, welcome to ikolam! I went back to my good old days with State Bank! I too won a prize on a bank-day rangoli competition by drawing a 'Kathakali' Rangoli! Since we were not supposed to use any instruments, I drew concentric circles by holding a chalk in my toes! It was well appreciated by my colleagues! It is a pity that I don't have a photo of it!
