16 pulli Pongal kolam thru images

Beautiful rangoli kolam designs with dots for Sankranti or Pongal

A very old and traditional kolam .  Really hats off to ladies of our country who could do such creative rangoli designs .  I am not surprised having seen the elder ladies in my family sit with us after dinner creating kolam designs. Fortunately there was not distraction in the form of television etc those days so time was utilised in such innovative ways.

When we add colours to this kolam as we usually do for Margazhi , Sankranthi , it is better to draw few colourful lines to enhance the beauty because filling with colour may obfuscate the beautiful design.
