Iruvatchi flower garland

Iruvatchi ( இருவாட்சி மலர்  ) in Tamil is a type of jasmine that is popular in Trichy and Srirangam.  A very beautiful variety of flower.

 I got some flowers and immediately made a garland. 

 I offer these garlands to the pictures of Gods in our Pooja room or offer them to any temple I visit.

That is quite frequent by God's grace.

I am sharing easy rangoli through images in this blog.  Occasionally I share flower decorations , recipes, Puja related posts also.

This is one of them.

We can offer for Navratri,  Varalakshmi Vratham these garlands.  The Pooja room will look beautiful and divine with such type of garlands.

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. So we must allow our imagination to do its job and the probability of getting an acceptable kolam design is quite high!  Now for some pulli vecha kolangal with 9 dots grid or 9 dots muggulu or chukki rangoli designs First a simple 9 pulli 5 varisai deepam kolam for our Margali, Ne
