Pattathu Yaanai

About Pattathu Yaanai : PRINT

I am Veni Deivanai, who recently visited this ikolam site and got impressed.As my first entry, I am herewith enclosing a Chikku kolam for the " Margazhi kolam contest".
In olden days, when the Maharaja dies without leaving his heir for the throne,the Pattaththu yaanai, i.e the main Elephant of the Raajmahal will be sent with a garland around the city, to select the next person for the throne.Towhomesoever the Elephant put the garland will be declared as the next Raja.
Here, I have put a chikku kolam in the form of Pattathu yaanai with the real garland in his hand on its way to select the RAJA. Hope you all will enjoy this.

very nice one...also like the way of using flowers for the garland.
Veni ma'm welcome to iKolam!!!

i was showing this to mom and immediately she recalled the poem "tirukanorva ooramunde muruku dharmashaaleyalli ......kariya baayge kusumamaale....." (a poorman sleeping in dharmasala has a dream where the elephant comes with garland and makes him the king and series of fun things happen in the dream....and atlast he wakes up ).
