very nice one...In kerala Bhagavathy sevai (pooja for Ambal) is done on such type of kolams called kalam which is drawn by the pujari himself...there are different designs and each one is unique .....during adi maasam we get to see these everyday in the kerala temples.....is this the same pooja? just shared my thoughts...

Lakshmi Mam,
Very neat arrangement. Kolam with silver lamps looks so divine. Looks like Bhagavathy sevai.

Looks divine! Awaiting for the rest of the rangolis!
Vijaysowmya, Lakshmi said it is Durga pooja done on the ashtami day of Navaraathri. I too feel that it is similar to the 'Bhagavathi sevai' done in Kerala temples/houses during aadi/thai vellikizhamais and also Navrathri. These rangolis are called yanthrams and done by poojaris themselves.

Great work and colouring, very divine. Yes, we too celebrate sarasvatIpUjA on saptami, durgApUjA on ashTami and lakshmIpUjA on navami. In fact, my father used to light two nandAdIpAs or akhanDajyOtis during the daSarA, one on the first day with ippa oil and the other on the seventh day with clarified butter. It was sometime, our chore to replenish the oil or ghee to the lamps.
Regards! - mOhana
