30 days 30 kolam 2 set 10 images

Two rangoli kolam I created in the pics above and below when I have some time to spare.  In the pics above and below and that is usually in the afternoons   

1. Idea for simple kolam for daily use - first pic . Afternoons are reserved for creating kolam or for stringing flowers.    

Two more sets of easy rangoli pics and easy kolam pictures are available for your reference.  With these 30 different kolam for a month are ready 

This big collection of thirty kolam images should be useful for all for drawing kolam daily at the entrance.  One of the most pleasant experiences for me - drawing rangoli early in the morning. 

Usually, I have my cup of hot coffee (without chicory!) Only after drawing the daily rangoli.  

One of the important reasons drawing kolam daily at the entrance is to welcome the guests.  Hospitality is among the top of the qualities attributable to Indians. 

In Tamil Nadu, in villages there are stone resting places outside many homes for travellers to rest.  In the beginning of the 20th century (I guess) most travellers travelled by foot.

So resting places were built outside the houses for them to take a rest when tired.  

There is a popular Thirukural (written by Saint Thiruvallur) that says (when translated) a flower called anicham withers when smelt similarly a guest becomes uncomfortable if the host does not smile.

Probably to make the guest feel at home the house was decorated with thoranam and a daily kolam. 

 Maybe they brought big and more beautiful kolam when guests visited to welcome the guest right from the doorway.  This may have been one more purpose for drawing kolam.

Awesome rangoli designs for Friday

Digressing from the topic and continuing our discussion on my morning coffee that I mentioned earlier, I have my early morning cup only after completed the rangoli at the entrance. 

My husband usually doesn't wait for me.  He has to have his cup first thing in the morning.  He says he won't miss the pleasure of a hot cup of coffee at dawn.  In his opinion it is bliss.  In a few minutes I will join him after the rangoli making ritual, he would have finished half a cup :) 

I should preach what I practice and practice what I preach, so vasal kolam is the first thing in the morning for me.  Coffee comes next :)
