Rangoli Designs - Double stroked

latha whenever i go to drop chandhini to school i too come across so beautiful kolams at one house here in chrompet but didn't then have a camera mobile at that time but now i don't get a chance to walk on d streets at all next time even if i go on a two wheeler i shd get d guts to ask permission and take a photo will share it in ikolam

Yes Rani, people usually don't mind it. I have many more, but no time to post. My husband has saved many designs in his PC too. I've been asking him to publish soon.

Wow, super double stroke kolam, Mam, me too, while crossing, ramnagar in coimbatore, i used to admire kolam especially on Friday's they put marvellenous kolam with kavi, mostly padi kolams. i admire those kolam, since iam on the way to Bank (always in a hurry) , i don't have time to take photos. After seeing Lata's work,i too inspired to take photos of some of their kolams, i will try, thank you lata

pl pl latha make a separate folder for such kolams and do share here with us just squeeze ur time pl pl

oh so funny after d advent of digital cameras our world of capturing all under d sun has sooo much expanded

It's true Lata, எதுவும் கை கிட்ட இருக்கும் போது அதன் அருமை தெரியாது, may be we used to see such kolam on daily basis, whereas, for you, you can view only during your visits, that too, you may have so many committments in a short span. But don't worry, ikolam members are feeding you with numerous kolams to view and enjoy,
I take this opportunity to thank you for creating such a fantastic platform, hats off to your work and support

woow lata, what a double stroked chiku kolam, no words to express even though it is drawn casually looks very nice. chiku kolam with single strokes is difficult for some that too with a double stroke really it is like a wonder.

so lata super mam that you took this picture even your husband helps you in these very gud that he also likes designs mam

Just now I wrote that 99% chikku kolams are drawn with single ezhai... but here comes a ckikku kolam from an anonymous person. 'முற்றத்து முல்லைக்கு மணம் இல்லை 'என்பது பழமொழி . இங்கே வாசலில் போட்டிருக்கும் கோலத்தை பார்க்க வீட்டில் இருப்பவர்க்கே பொழுது இல்லை. ஏதோ ஐகோலம் அங்கத்தினர்கள் மட்டும் தான் தேடிபிடித்து ரசிக்கிறோம் வாழ்க ஐகோலம்! வளர்க லதாவின் மகத்தான சேவை!!

u have a great interest in kolam lata,i think kolam is the secret of ur energy!

Nice double line kOlam! I always wonder how people remember all the complex turns and twists in chikku kOlams. By the way, do chikku kOlam artists have better memory power?

Lata maam nice double stroke kolam... this shows how much u love kolams and for sure it is contagious I guess cos u have made me do more and more kolams.. tx for all that u do

I too have wondered at such beautiful kolams during my visit to villages. That too during Margazhi the kolams will be bigger than the hut in which they dwell. Irrespective of age all ladies are so involved in this art!

Another challenge kolam put so casually. Nice of you Lata to take a snap and share with us., Now more and more ikolam members are becoming chikkukolam fans I think.

Excellent kolam. Whenever i visit India i too have seen and enjoyed too many kolams particularly in the villages but nvever got a chance to take a pic. This time i will surely get lots of snaps. Thanks for publishing this lata.

I just wanted to thank u personally for all the efforts u take to make us all learn new things everyday. I have learnt so much form i kolam and i'm learning everyday. Whenever i get time even, ten mins i don't waste. I just come to this site. really really tons and tons fo thanks to u lata and all the members.

nice kolam.

beautiful double strokes...

What a beauty this double stroke chikku kolam is - though a common design looks extremely beautiful with double strokes. Actually some of the chikku kolams are very difficult to remember as there are too many different sections with complex twists and turns attached to each layer. Ones like this are a bit easier to remember as there is a set of patterns for each layer and all you have to do is remember one side of the pattern and it will flow right through. Till a certain period I used to have very good memory power (partly due to concentration from drawing chikku kolams in my book), I used to remember so many chikku kolams from the top of my head but now I have to practice it once atleast before I draw it because I don't concentrate too much these days so my memory has dulled a bit.

And thank you once again Lata for whatever you are doing
