The Chinese new year holidays are on now. It is the year of ox. They have a twelve-year cycle named after animals and birds. We also have a twelve year cycle in India. The river pushkarams coincide with this cycle. The twelve year period corresponds to the time taken by Jupiter around the sun. Here is a symmetric greeting card on this occasion with the Chinese character for ox shown at the bottom left. Two patterns are given for your enjoyment. Regards! - mOhana
