About Kolam with color : PRINT
The colorful kolam tradition dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization (2500 B.C). Kolams were often drawn with coarse rice flour since it served as a food source to nature's creatures like ants and crows. Rice flour is seen as an offering to Lakshmi, the goddess of rice and wealth.

Kousalya, welcome to ikolam! I've enlarged your image a bit, since it was too small (hope you don't mind). It was small, and its beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
