Easy flower garland make simple garland

Traditional method of tying roses is tricky and needs practice , among most flowers rose petals are the most delicate and hence we have to handle the flowers carefully. 
 Even while tying it is possible that the petals can get separated. Still rose is one of the most beautiful flowers and many of us cannot resist the temptation of making a rose flower garland. ( poo malai ) What I have shown is a simple method for making a rose garland. 
 As usual , since this blog is mainly about traditions, customs and festivals , this decoration can be used for Varalakshmi Vratham or Navratri..
We need lace ribbon that has holes as shown in the picture below.

Insert the roses one by one giving enough gap between any two roses.

Decorate an idol of God for the festivals I mentioned earlier.

Also for the other to important festivals viz.  Ganesh Chaturthi and Janmastami.  Due to the ease with which we can make this , we can make quite long garlands in very little time.  I have chosen golden lace for the roses so that the colour combination goes well.  We can appreciate the beauty of this garland only when we actually make it and adorn an idol or photo of God for the festivals.

I always prefer pink rose or paneer rose as we say in Tamil .    Natural is always more beautiful .  So I prefer this natural variety more than the hybrid varieties.  If you would have observed the flowers at our flower vendor even the insects only prefer this rose and avoid the hybrid roses because they buzz above them only !  What ever we do we cannot beat nature - so if you cannot beat it better join it  is the proverb,

9 dots or pulli kolangal

I f you have come to this blog post in search of  9 dots kolam , 9 to 5 chukki rangoli , 9 chukkala muggulu  or 9 dots rangoli designs you may have come  the right place. As my mother used to say ''manolayam'' - concentration on the task in hand and thinking of nothing else.  Easier said than done.  In fact I find it difficult to stop a kolam at any step ( practitioners of kolam I think will agree ) but time and space are constraints. After viewing these kolangal designs please also like my Facebook page Rangoli sans dots  As they say regimentation and creativity do not go hand in hand.   The choices can be limited only by our imagination.  Each will be beautiful or awesome in its own way.
