Before keeping the Shanku in pooja, we did small pooja few days back..since So many Shankas decorate most of our kolam and recent mOhanaji's padikolam with shaded shanku, i thought I'll upload this. It is a Valampuri Shanku.

This is a pic of our pooja room decorated for Navaratri. The decoration credit goes to my mother.She is 70 years and has personally stitched the garlands for all pictures with cloth and decorated with sequins and bangles.You can also see the Kuthuvillaku decorated and kept on either side.
Our dear friend Visalakshi, had sent a beautiful Hrudhaya kamalam kolam. An improved version of this kolam can be put with more dots. From the center dot, put 5 dots in a straight line on the 8 sides. Then, start connecting the dots from 1 line to the next line with a curved line in the order of 1,3,5,2,4,1.
This Hrudhaya kamalam is a sacred one called LAXKSMINIVAS, hence should be put in pooja room only and nobody should step on it.
With 4 dots on each side, we can draw different design by connecting 1,2,3,4 or 1,3,2,4.
Kamalika had made this exquisite Om flower rangoli for an office function.
