About rangoli during pongal 2011 : PRINT
This is the Rangoli which was done by me and my mom during pongal and the design in this shows an elephant holding lamps .The design used here is known as MAKARA VILAKU and it was being used before 2400 years . I got this information in a magazine now I've tried out in kolam.

Nice rangoli and description given is informative. I too have a vilakku in Brass similar to this pattern which we use for karthigai. It is a tradition for us to give this and pavai vilakku to daughters during their wedding, so i too got this from my parents for my marraige. Very nice.

Quite a nice pattern. The elephant is majestic indeed. May I request you to give more details about the origin of this? How is the antiquity of 2400 years traced? With the recent tragedy, makaraviLakku has been dimmed.
