Aishwarya patra rangoli ( an important Devara mane rangoli ) or aishwarya kolam another popular rangoli with dots. I learnt some designs from my mother-in-law. This is one of them. It is considered to be auspicious and drawn on Fridays , during festivals like Navarathri, Varalakshmi Vratha and Lakshmi Pooja. This is an important Veli kizhamai kolam as it is called in Tamil.
Aishwarya kolam, Hase, Kubera kolam and Hridaya kamalam can be called as Mahalakshmi kolam as they are drawn on Fridays in the Puja room. Friday is considered important for Mahalakshmi in our tradition.
This kolam can also be drawn in the mandap where we place Goddess Lakshmi for Varalakshmi Vratham Pooja ( Varamahalakshmi Habba ) or for on the plank ( manai ) where we place Lord Ganesh during Vinayaka Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chavithi celebrations.
It is usually drawn as seen plain with a kaavi border. It is a rangoli with dots, with 7 dots at the centre, with 8 dots on either side of this. Then there are one row of seven dots and one row of six dots on either side and finally three dots. Using this dots template the rangoli design can be drawn in many methods. It is easy but there may be easier methods. It is also called Aishwarya patra rangoli. Now, when and how these rangolis became auspicious, I do not know. I do not have any information too.Aishwarya kolam, Hase, Kubera kolam and Hridaya kamalam can be called as Mahalakshmi kolam as they are drawn on Fridays in the Puja room.
