Pongal Rangoli

Thanks Lakshmi 2000 - JKM (I too liked the shape of the sugarcanes in this kolam) - Lakshmi (yes they are dancing with joy and hehe no PC) - Rajamma this was drawn in front of my house on tar road in the night hence it looks like black background - Subashini it was by mistake I used kavi for those pots because I did not have enough colours, but after it was completed we realised that it was the best colour since the pots looked like original ones - Sudha thanks a ton - Hey Jaya this time not a virtual kolam it is a real one (I know you are joking though:) - Pushpa thanks for that reassurance - Viji, promise dear this is a real kolam only - Brindha thanks for the suggestion. I am going to get the colours you said as soon as possible and then ask you for the recipie - Aunty I am honoured to get this comment from you which is the best comment I could ever receive since it is coming from a wonderful person who has trained so many specialists in her family (love you aunty) - Alamelu I too like the shape of this sugarcane very much :)

Thanks Anirudh - glad you enjoyed the treat :) Sumathi it is quite a bit of a job to run the border lines all over again after the colouring is done because when you put a kolam (a big one) you normally start from the centre towards to the outside, but once the colouring is done the outlines have to be redone to define each shape and drawing the centre part without stepping onto the colouring outside is a circus job - I sometimes get a slight catch in my back when I am done - but the final image is what gives complete satisfaction and worth all the strain I think. Thanks for your lovely comment too :)

Thanks BalaChandrasekaran for stopping by at so many of my kolams and caring to post a comment :)
