bittergourd

This kolam is also an oldest pattern slightly modified. The dot count is 9-5 inbetween dots, then 2-1 on all the six sides.The yellow colored design is called ' Paavaikkai or bittergaurd' design, we all would have put this so many times. The centre will be usually a star design which I have changed in to a flower design. In the outer colomn also instead of paavaikai, I put small girls like design going around, hoping the younger generations also will continue this Kolam Art.
