The Chinese new year holidays are on now. It is the year of ox.
They have a twelve-year cycle named after animals and birds. We
also have a twelve year cycle in India. The river pushkarams
coincide with this cycle. The twelve year period corresponds to
the time taken by Jupiter around the sun. Here is a symmetric
greeting card on this occasion with the Chinese character for ox
shown at the bottom left. Two patterns are given for your
enjoyment. Regards! - mOhana
