Chalk Kolam in Singapore!
I have a feeling that without sanghu and chakaram, i cant make a kolam !!! 
This middle lamp kollam is just 5X5, The first kolam my mother taught me when i was 6 years old for my school project, with days and years it has evolved with imagination.
This kollam dedicated to my mom amma, who makes simple and small designs but elegant as her.
She would be surprised when she visits this website entirely dedicated to kolam lovers and women who create magic on doorsteps.
Thanks you all for such wonderful designs.
P.S - My future mother-in-law is also a kolam expert ( heard that she is called by her neighbours as Kola mammi), by this year when i will get married will get more snaps of her designs. This one is also my fiances fav.
Love,
Gowri Manohari Narayanan.

I like the way your childhood kolam has evolved over the years! Looks pretty. I want to leave a quick message here for your mom too.
Hi Gowri's amma, I'm sure you're proud of Gowri, nice of her to share her kolams and her memories. It gives me renewed hope that one day my girls will think about the way I helped them with their projects, and although the paper/projects get thrown away over the years, the essence of it doesn't get thrown!
Dear Kola maami, we are eagerly looking forward to meeting you!

Thank you Amma.I am really thrilled that you have commented on my kolam. I am fan of your padi kolam, Your kolam has elegance, nalinam, i love the patterns and the scale of your kolams. very much inspired by your cute kolams. Learnt to make vishnu chakram from seeing your kolam and U lotus.
So far i had bought 2 boxes of chalk. Yes indeed i am lucky to have him.
Will take kolams of my amma, maami, and cousins,chitti,patti etc when i go home to india in them month of May.
