I messed with my neighbour kid's play time:) He looked like a Perfect Angle to me, standing two feet away, no signs of naughtiness in his innocent face. The moment I stepped in, he was too happy to try his hand. So made it again. Half finished, my Angel woke up from her sleep, ready to take over the space, So this is the glimpse I managed to capture. One of my best moments with kids :)

Nice Chukki rangoli Padma. You've provided a swing for your dotted rangoli. Cute hearts.
By the way, please tell me what "chukki" means. Does it mean dotted? Pardon my ignorance, I don't know even the common words in languages other than tamil, hindi and english. But, I'm willing to learn. Smile

Soory for the late reply. I had missed this as it has passed when i have not logged on to ikolam.

Sorry lata, Chukki means - dot. the other meaning is "Star" Sometimes we call this rangoli as "Gantina Rangoli" i.e sikku means - Gantu - Complex etc. Finally there are 3 types
1. CHUKKI Rangoli - Dotted Rangoli - i.e rangoli with dots either straight lines or curved.
2. Gantina Rangoli - Sikku Kolam - which is very complex as the curves are not easy to follow.
3. Ele Rangoli - Free hand rangoli's with lines. "Ele" means lines either single/double/four strokes.

Lata it is not your ignorance, even i dont know lot many words in Tamil. Now my tamil vocabulory is getting improved from iKolam. Thank you for that.
