pulses

this is a kolam of goddess sarasvathi made entirely of grains,navadhanyam-nine types of grains.this kolam was made at 'Temple of Fine Arts,at Malaysia-Kuala Lumpur-a dance academy where Indians and other races send their kids learn traditional Indian arts such as sangeetham,bharatham,kuchipodi,kathakali,kathak and learning of indian musical instruments aka veena,flute,sittar...since the place got to do with arts and learning,they(members of the academy) created this kolam to invoke and pay respect towards her during navarathri on sarasvathi pooja.enjoy viewing.a real blessings for the eyes.

This is the rangoli made by me for a rangoli competition held here in Dubai... the theme was Navarathri and instructions were that only plant materials should be used to make the rangoli. (and i won the 1st prize for this)

This sangu pullaiyaar was made out of cereals,Background material used is veppam poo.Outline is given with javvarisi.

I did this for the multicultural night at my daughter's school. As always, used rajma beans, moong dal, masoor dal, green moongm barley and some chori dal(the small red ones). Hope you all like it!!
