Excellent kolam - Done very nicely and neatly. The kuthu vilakku at the back drop of the sun looks stunning. Every part of the kolam is very attractive.

Splendid work Rajam - I love the divine look of this Radham with the mix of white, kaavi and orange colours. Your poor back, hope it is ok after this 4 hour exercise. Please take some rest now. But the fruit of labour is always delicious na - great job..

Thank you all for the nice comments. My sister Jayacalled me over the phone and said 'Put ther kolam for 10th Rathasapthami. I am coming to see". So I put all my energy to surprise her with a big one.( Though I wish to put big big kolams, health does not permit me to sit for a long time... Sr citizen hai naa, isliye)My grand son Neel encouraged me by not spoiling it till now.

What a stunning Chariot for the occasion! How do you get your lines to be embossed when you're working with kolam powder? Tell me please.
I also admired the chikku kolam at the center.
Nice to know that you were also encouraged by your sister. It is more motivating when you have motivating family members.
Color combination and the size of this huge master piece is amazing! Thank you so much.

Thank you all for the nice comments.
Lata, I have used approximately 200 grams of nylon kolam powder mixed with 2 teaspoonful of rice powder. The embossed effect may be due to this mixing. This chariot is 4 x 3 feet dimension. Since drawn in the Hall inside the house, i have to restrict the area.The dots have to be put very close and hence drawing the lines took more time. ( All of you know that if the dots are kept apart drawing lines around them is easy. but not when kept close).I have drawn thin lines only, so it is not that bright.
Anirudh, after seeing your Terrece-fort kolam only I got the inspiration to draw a big kolam. I ll be too happy to see your Ther kolam on the terrece.
Judy, Yes Jaya did come and gave her comments in person.( why Lata didnot upload her Ther kolam?)Over the phone only she suggested to put the orange sun in the centre. I am happy that all of you liked it.

Fantastic one Rajamma. I don't know how i missed to see this. Neatly made. That orange colour application for the sun looks so lovely. Glad that u are able to do such massive work in this age too. Ungaluku neengale drishti suthi podunga else ask Mr Sitaraman to do that for you.
