Mrs.Janaki, I had emailed you earlier. Uploading kolams directly in the site using the "create content - rangoli" should work fine. I had just uploaded another of your creations. Please email me back, if you have any further questions. Thank you again, for sharing your creations with us. Smile

JAMBO to all participants and organisers of this comp from OBAMA country

I congratulate all the organisers esp Lata, and participants. I'm glad for Ikolam being there. In kenya doing rangolis has almost died very few houses do it. I've invited a few of my friends to view & join Ikolam

Namaste and hello everybody,

We're so overwhelmed by the response we've had this year for this contest! It is all of you members and participants who have made this possible! Because all of you took the time and effort to share whatever you've created, we all got to feast our eyes on the many different kinds of Rangolis.

My part is not yet done though...one of the pending work is to update everyone's entries with their respective names, descriptions and any details that all of you had sent. After that work is done, I'm sure everyone will appreciate the hard work and effort that all of you had put in, in creating such amazing pieces of work!

Mr.Sandeep, Kenya is in good hands because it has highly talented people like you! It is nice of you to spread the word about ikolam to your friends...

Thank you for all the learning moments you all had given us over the past week, we enjoyed it thoroughly!

Priya, thanks for your sweet comments.
Rajamma mam', it is nice to know that we've had senior citizens like you participating too...nothing beats getting encouragement from ladies like you who are veterans in the art of kolam! You are welcome to share your collections of kolams in this site. To begin with , you could just send me the designs the way you sent in your contest-rangolis. Your rangolis were so beautiful! I'd be happy to post all of your collections in the gallery under your name. Please be prepared to answer to peoples' comments and questions...because as you could see...there are many active members who are all busy bees...and they are all daily visitors to ikolam.

Hi Radha, thank you for participating! Your designs are going to get "settled down" in the Gallery (as soon as I organize it a bit, because I'd be adding atleast 70 more names to it). You are right about the hardships, values and customs. I guess these are the kind of things that keep me, you and everyone else going! Smile
I haven't thought about Karthikai yet, because I still have to re-organize the site, catagorize it for all of us...but if I do plan on something, I'll definetely get in touch with you Smile

Lavanya and Marees, we'll announce contests/competitions in our site, and also via newsletters. We don't have a kolam or a rangoli competition coming up soon. But, we do have plans to conduct a Golu and a Marapaachi doll decor contest next month. So, stay tuned and plan to participate. (There is no age limit to participate).
And, please just address me as Lata. Smile
