9 - 5 interlaced dots (Idukku Pulli) Kolam.
Start with 9 dots in the center and stop at 5 by putting interlaced dots at both sides as shown above.
Join the dots as shown above and erase the remaining dots. Fill with desired colour powders.
Kolam also known as Rangoli, is a dainty floor painting, which is an integral part of South Indian tradition. It is a beautiful and perhaps the only one art, drawn every day by women in the households. It symbolizes beauty and provides a welcoming environment.

Hi Nisha,

thank you so much i shared your kolam with my friends everyone liked it
Thank you Nisha.
say some tips for colouring the kolam
Hi Kalaimathi,
When we buy the colour powder in the shop, it is very fine. You have to add the white Kola powder and mix it well to get flowing texture. You can fill up by hand or by using the tea strainer. Put the colour powder into the tea strainer and gently shake over the portion of the kolam. After colouring the kolam, you can again draw the white lines. Matching the colours are one's own like and desire.
hi kamala,
this kolam is really very nice.....it looks simple but without your simple way of explanation, it will be difficult to draw.
thank you.
Thank you Vidya.
