Hridaya kamala kolam - a dots kolam for Friday for Puja room
The rangoli after completion with just white rangoli powder. Usually it is drawn this way with a kaavi (red ) border.
Usually drawn in white with kaavi border, I have used colours for the sequence and also have another picture with colours filled to give an idea for those who wish to learn this kolam ( also called Lakshmi muggu ) how the petals are formed.




Probably this is the only rangoli that is drawn showing the top view of a lotus. Usually we draw the lotus viewed from a side.
1. Where is this rangoli drawn
Usually this rangoli is meant for Puja room, Tulsi plant and on the plank on which Ganesh Puja, Varalakshmi Vratham are celebrated. It is an auspicious kolam and believed to confer well being. It is a kolam for prosperity.2. Can this rangoli be drawn at the entrance of our house
To the best of my knowledge this rangoli is considered auspicious and hence meant for places written in answer to question 1.
The next Hridaya kamala kolam is also with a combination of two colours, an auspicious kolam. This is already there in rangoli-sans-dots. I am trying something different. It is the hridaya kamala kolam. I have tried kolam design with parallel lines of two different colours - orange and blue in this case. It is a beautiful kolam and one of the most auspicious.
For this kolam also the dot pattern is 5 dots in eight directions around a central dot ( 5 dots excluding the central dot ). The dots are joined in the order 1,4,2,5,3 repeated till the kolam is completed. 1 is the first dot above the central dot and 5 is the last dot counted radially. Given the close and thick arrangement of petals on a lotus, drawing the kolam with two parallel lines enhances the intricateness of the design bringing it closer (?) to nature's design.
The video is in my YouTube channel. The speed is double in a major portion of the video to reduce the time of the video.

Rangoli sans dots is primarily about rangoli, festivals, festival related recipes. There will be more concentration on kolam . Hope you will like them. I will try to diversify more if and when possible.
